Bucknell Women's Water Polo Volunteers at Animal Refuge

LEWISBURG, Pa. -- Using some of its offseason to help an important local organization, the Bucknell University women's water polo team spent a Sunday in late October volunteering at T&D's Cats of the World in nearby Penns Creek, Pa.  T&D's Cats of the World is an animal refuge that specializes in exotic felines and wildlife.

The Bison women's water polo team members were charged with making an inventory of all the items in the gift shop and packing the products away for the winter. The products were put away in bins, protecting them from damage during the winter months.

In return for their hard work, the Bison team members were rewarded with a tour of the fascinating animal haven.

T&D's Cats of the World is dedicated to providing a safe haven for unwanted, abused and mistreated exotic and wild animals. T&D's strives to provide the best care possible for the animals, and to educate the public. The family-owned business is open on Saturdays and Sundays from May through September.

Volunteering at T&D's Cats of the World is one of the many demonstrations of the Bucknell women's water polo team's year-long commitment to community service.

More information on T&D's Cats of the World is available on the organization's official website at www.tdscats.com
