When Katherine Stone was just 10, she visited SOCKS, a local no-kill cat shelter. While there, she noticed a spill and, grabbing a broom, cleaned it up. The staff were so impressed that they invited her to become a volunteer. Over the past six years, she has helped improve living conditions for thousands of animals. "I just do what has to be done," says Katherine, now a sophomore, who has hosted car washes, auctions, and a golf tournament that paid for construction of an extra room. She even learned to install floors, drywall, a sink, and a toilet. "The unselfishness of this young lady is beyond belief," says shelter president Cecil DeMonbrun.
