Veronica Hoelscher (right), 8th grader, and Natalie Todaro, 8th grader, tend to kittens at the base’s local Adopt-A-Pet (APET) shelter May 18. Both girls volunteer at APET and recently donated funds to the shelter along with other members from the Base Chapel's Catholic parish youth group, called The Conquerors.
