Sorrell hopes to spend her free time after retirement working full-time at the Animal Rescue Fund (ARF) to help animals find their forever homes.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Sorrell\u2019s volunteering journey began at ARF. She felt a loss of purpose once her kids grew up and started building their own lives.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u201c<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">I didn&#8217;t want just work to be my life. I wanted something with purpose and to feel like I was contributing,\u201d <\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Sorrell said. \u201cSo,<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> I tried a couple of things, but I ended up at ARF.\u201d<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Sorrell dedicates her love for animals to her dad after watching him show compassion towards animals growing up. However, Sorrell\u2019s main passion is cats.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u201cI actually started with both cats and dogs, but I found that the dogs got adopted so fast that I hardly got to know them, and then they were gone. People around here tend to prefer dogs, although in other parts of the country, cats are preferred,\u201d said Sorrell. \u201cI found myself in the cat house more and more just because they had more needs that weren&#8217;t always being met.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Sorrell is an advocate for cats at ARF and provides information pertaining to the needs that cats have in shelters. Cats require fostering, especially during kitten season where both the mom and kittens need to be monitored. Space and time are the biggest concerns when adopting cats. Luckily, Sorrell herself found two of her own cats at ARF and gave them forever homes.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">If you\u2019re ever interested in volunteering for ARF or fostering some animals of your own, reach out to Sorrell for additional information!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-405\" src=\"https:\/\/bsu-wpe-blogs.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2023\/09\/22113806\/image000000-23-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bsu-wpe-blogs.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2023\/09\/22113806\/image000000-23-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/bsu-wpe-blogs.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2023\/09\/22113806\/image000000-23-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/bsu-wpe-blogs.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2023\/09\/22113806\/image000000-23-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/bsu-wpe-blogs.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2023\/09\/22113806\/image000000-23.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-404\" src=\"https:\/\/bsu-wpe-blogs.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2023\/09\/22113801\/image000000-22-250x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"250\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bsu-wpe-blogs.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2023\/09\/22113801\/image000000-22-250x300.jpg 250w, https:\/\/bsu-wpe-blogs.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2023\/09\/22113801\/image000000-22-853x1024.jpg 853w, https:\/\/bsu-wpe-blogs.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2023\/09\/22113801\/image000000-22-768x922.jpg 768w, https:\/\/bsu-wpe-blogs.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2023\/09\/22113801\/image000000-22-1280x1536.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/bsu-wpe-blogs.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2023\/09\/22113801\/image000000-22.jpg 1333w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 250px) 100vw, 250px\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-403\" src=\"https:\/\/bsu-wpe-blogs.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2023\/09\/22113755\/image000000-21-152x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"152\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bsu-wpe-blogs.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2023\/09\/22113755\/image000000-21-152x300.jpg 152w, https:\/\/bsu-wpe-blogs.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2023\/09\/22113755\/image000000-21-520x1024.jpg 520w, https:\/\/bsu-wpe-blogs.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2023\/09\/22113755\/image000000-21-768x1512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/bsu-wpe-blogs.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2023\/09\/22113755\/image000000-21-780x1536.jpg 780w, https:\/\/bsu-wpe-blogs.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2023\/09\/22113755\/image000000-21.jpg 812w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 152px) 100vw, 152px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"TextRun SCXW218584502 BCX0\" lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\" data-contrast=\"auto\"><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW218584502 BCX0\">Gracie, Eugene, and Callie <\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW218584502 BCX0\">are<\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW218584502 BCX0\"> Melissa Sorrell\u2019s <\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW218584502 BCX0\">rescue<\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW218584502 BCX0\"> cats!<\/span><\/span><span class=\"EOP SCXW218584502 BCX0\" data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Melissa Sorrell has been working at Ball State University for 20 years as the UTS Labs Manager and is currently in a phase-out of retirement.
