WAGS Pet Adoption: Stretch and Scratch Cat Scratchers Grant Report

How did this grant help your organization and the pets in your care?

The product was used in all of our cat areas as well as being handed out to all cat and kitten adopters.

It gave the cats and kittens a way to scratch and stretch while being in our care. As well as being able to offer the new adopters something to their new cats that they are familiar with as well as sending them home with a new toy!

How many pets did this grant help?

250+ cats

Please provide a story of one or more specific pets this grant helped.

Jasmine was a very shy and timid and was very depressed being here. Once we started putting the cat scratchers in all of the cages, she perked up and decided that she now had something to do! Within 1 week, she had perked up and decided that she was ready to be adopted. Before your cat scratchers were delivered, we had plenty of cats just sitting around with not much to do. Carpet cat scratchers are expensive and gor a non-profit animal shelter, replacing them is not always the option. Your cat scratchers made it easy for us to give them to every cat in our care and replace them as needed! Thank you!
