This week’s (8/10/14 – 8/16/14) Staff/Volunteer of the Week for Rikki’s Refuge is BRITTNEY WILLIAMS! Thank you Brittney, for everything you do! We appreciate you!

Rikki’s was blessed and impressed on February 2nd when Brittney showed up to do her working day interview. Would this petite, lovely young lady with a huge smile be able to handle all this physical work? Yes she could! She swung the 50 pound sacks of feed up on your shoulder. She lifted 40 pound litter boxes one after the other. And she kept saying, Oh my gosh, I love it here! And her big beautiful smile and lovely happy attitude kept us smiling all day. We were thankful when her answer to, “Can you see yourself doing this all day everyday?” was a resounding YES, YES, YES, CAN I PLEASE? And that’s how Brittney joined the Rikki’s team !!!

It’s hard to believe Brittney has been with Rikki’s only six months. She loves her job and her job loves her. She has smiling, purring, barking, mooing charges to prove it !!!

Brittney always goes above and beyond to care for the animals in a caring loving manner. In the short time she’s been with us, Brittney has been promoted to 9th Life Specialist due to her outstanding quality of work and heartfelt caring of “her” animals. Most of her work is with cats and she’s a true Cat Whisperer. She is cross trained on every animal area at Rikki’s and helps out where ever needed. She can chase down a sheep with the best of ‘em !!!!

When Brittney is off duty she is a Cheer Coach and mentors younger ladies. They’re a very special group of glas to have Brittney to learn about making the most of life from.

Her smile and happy helpful attitude makes her a wonderful person to work with no matter what your species.

Thank you Brittney, for being an important part of Rikki’s.
