A Sunday Well Spent
Jakatwadi Animal Shelter
Today was Sunday, so I decided to visit the dog and cat shelter in Jakatwadi. Jakatwadi is about 5 to 6 kilometers from Satara. My friend and I went there on my scooty. On the way, we carried food for the cats and dogs.
When we reached the shelter and went inside, we saw that animals were kept tied up. The cat and dog shelter were separate. We first went to the cat shelter. As soon as we entered, the cats got so excited that they started jumping on us. They were really happy to see us.
We had brought food for them, so we gave it to them. All the cats ate heartily. After eating, they started playing with us. There were different breeds cats there - Percian and local(Indian) cats too. Around 25 to 30 cats were in the shelter.
We could hear a lot of barking from the dog shelter, so we went there next. We gave the dogs the food we had brought for them. They too were very happy and ate until they were full. Seeing them so satisfied gave us a great sense of happiness.
As we were about to leave, the dogs and cats started following us. Then one of the caretakes at the shelter came and took the pets back inside. I felt like the animals didn't want us to leave them and go. Still, we left the shelter and returned to my home.
