Cat museum looking for volunteers
A museum honoring the American house cat is set to open soon in Jackson County, but cash and volunteer hours are needed to make it happen.
“It’s going to be something new in the area, new to this part of the country,” said Harold Sims, who is spearheading the project.
The Museum of the American House Cat will display the collection of cat-related artifacts and knick-knacks Sims has collected as a lifelong cat lover, while also raising money to support Catman2, the cat rescue that Sims runs in the Cullowhee area.
Sims is currently working to outfit space in the Old School Antique Mall along U.S. 441 to hold the cat museum but needs volunteers to help clean and paint. He’s also looking for cash donations to help with rent and other expenses.
