Sept. 2016 – Volunteer of the Month – Dune Erickson Hyatt

Like many who volunteer with West Coast Dog and Cat Rescue, Dune Erickson Hyatt has been rescuing and rehoming kitties on her own for many years. She’s volunteered with other organizations too, and we are fortunate indeed to now have her helping our cats and kittens.

Dune is able to work with and tame some of our shyest, skittery-est, nearly-feral kittens. She is one of the few fosters that will take on and bring around the older, unsocialized kittens for us. She lavishes them with love, spends countless hours teaching them to trust human touch and human care to make them adoptable. Her patience and skill are amazing.

In her non-cat-rescue life, Dune is also a huge dog lover, outdoor enthusiast, supporter of women’s athletics, and artist specializing in graphic design. Her lovely coloring books, cards, and other products are available through Dē Design.
