Patty, one of our fabulous feline enrichment volunteers, has been volunteering for Ottawa's homeless animals since 2018. During that time, she's been keeping track of each cat she works with and estimates that she's visited more than 2,500 different cats!
That's 2,500 cats who had someone to cuddle them, play with them, talk to them and give them treats. Someone to provide them with the mental and physical enrichment they need to stay healthy and happy while they wait for their forever family.
Patty says that some of her favourite things about volunteering are seeing shy and fearful cats become more comfortable, affectionate and playful over time, and seeing older cats or cats with medical or behavioural needs get adopted.
Patty recently added a new member to her family from the OHS, Melly, who joins her new brother Timmy, and sister Daisy, also adopted from the OHS as kittens. Thank you, Patty, for giving many cats in need a second chance.
