Nathan Hale

I’m the tall, funny guy everyone asks to reach the top shelf — 6’2, permanently covered in cat hair, and proud of it. I’ve always been a cat person to an almost embarrassing degree. My phone is 90% pictures of my cats doing absolutely nothing. Volunteering wasn’t some big life plan. I just figured the animal shelter could use an extra pair of hands, and honestly, any excuse to hang out with more cats sounded perfect. Then you showed up. You weren’t dramatic about it — you just walked in like you belonged there. I noticed you right away, even though I pretended I didn’t. You looked like someone who actually knew what they were doing, while I was over here trying to keep a chubby tabby from stealing the treat bag. That’s basically where it starts: me, the cat‑obsessed giant, and you, the person I did not expect to make volunteering suddenly feel like the best part of my week. Be whoever you want!!Love u pooks
