The animal care attendants here at the CCSPCA are the backbone of the shelter. They are assisted by the entire staff, but most times they are the ones the responsibility of daily care falls on.

Each day every kennel and cat cage is thoroughly disinfected - no small feat when you realize there are 70 dog runs and over 150 cat cages in the building. They are also the dishwashers - nearly 400 dishes are generated daily feeding and watering the many animals here. Mountains of laundry await them each day as blankets, toys, beds, and towels have to be cleaned. Spot checking the cleanliness of the animals throughout the day also falls on the attendants.
