The Career and Technical Education (CTE) Department at Blue Ridge Middle School in Purcellville held a pet food drive for us as part of their One to the World Project. They called it Bulldog’s BFF because their mascot is the Bulldog. All three CTE grades, 6-8, participated.

6th Grade Keyboarding students conducted background research, made promotional posters, and wrote to local merchants asking for gift cards to promote the food drive. The 7th and 8th grade Family and Consumer Sciences classes produced cat toys. The 7th grade TechEd classes created a logo for branding purposes and the 8th Grade Manufacturing students are made food and water bowl holders.

They collected 3 large bins of food plus toys and the pet food and water bowl holders.
Great job Bulldogs!

The public is welcome to attend these monthly meetings.

Since 1986, Old Mill Boarding Kennel has provided a safe, clean, and nurturing environment for guests to feel comfortable and welcome. Offering boarding for dogs and cats as well as day care and play time, there is also a pet spa and grooming facility on site, in addition to a full service veterinary hospital that opened in 1999. Old Mill has partnered with Humane Society of Loudoun County for over 20 years, giving our rescued cats a temporary place to stay while we locate foster homes and often providing the critical care that enables those with medical and behavioral issues to find homes.

The professionally trained staff at the kennel truly understand the anxiety people can feel when leaving their four-legged members in the care of someone else, and they make the extra effort to provide guests with a true home away from home. Although it is one of the largest pet boarding establishments in the Washington D.C. area, Old Mill has incorporated special features such as soft, residential-grade lighting, spacious sun-filled dog kennels, and sound-dampening acoustic wall panels to ensure maximum comfort.

Another unique factor that sets Old Mill apart from other boarding kennels is the presence of an on-site resident, long-time general manager Timmie Wiley, whose living space is attached to the kennel so he is close at hand when needed. He checks on guests when summer thunderstorms roll through or an alarm goes off, and he is on the scene to make sure that everything is as it should be.

Old Mill Cat Loft manager Shannon Judd has been with Old Mill for over 20 years. “We usually board the HSLC cats until they have fosters, feeding and caring for them, taking them to the vet if needed, and making sure they get as much human contact as possible.” She said they will take as many cats as HSLC brings, usually about 50 per year, and provide a reduced rate boarding fee.

The Cat Loft is a unique, state of the art facility featuring two level condos, with or without windows, in addition to skylights, large play rooms, and relaxing music. The Loft can house up to 85 cats at one time. “HSLC gets cats from a range of places—kill shelters, given up by people, feral, it’s a wide variety,” Shannon says. “We put them right in with our other cats (once they have the required vaccinations), and they are usually here a week or two.” In the past, the cats were with Old Mill for many months, and she attributes the shorter stays to more fosters and adoptions. “It was nice to see the same faces when we kept them longer, but this is not a place for them to live, and the quicker turnaround has been great.”

In addition to providing support with socialization, evaluation, space and care at reduced costs, Old Mill goes above and beyond to assist HSLC with cats who may have issues finding homes. One of the cats who benefited from Old Mill’s dedication is Tori, a kitten from the first mass spay/neuter clinic sponsored by HSLC who ended up with a chronic eye problem. For almost a year, they medicated her two to three times per day and saved her good eye. Once the condition was under control, a foster took her in and ended up adopting her—a happy ending for all.

Millie is another success story. After being diagnosed with cancer, she bonded with another HSLC cat at Old Mill and ended up living far beyond her prognosis. According to Shannon, “We do it because we have the space and it helps the community. We will always find a way to support the cats from HSLC, even if we’re booked.”

In 2017, HSLC found homes for a record number of cats and dogs. It is thanks to collaboration from partner agencies such as Old Mill that we are able to continue in this important mission, all for the love of animals.
