Saving Pets One at a Time (SPOT): Stretch and Scratch Cat Scratchers Grant Report

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

We received Stretch and Scratch cat scratchers.

We used these scratchers in our veterinary outreach cages, Petsmart Outreach cages, isolation cages and in some of our foster spaces. Cats confined in smaller areas benefited from these scratchers from the physical activity provided and designated area for scratching.

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

Bea is a rather large brown tabby who came to SPOT with significant injuries on her back from stab wounds and burns. She required some cage rest initially for healing and medicating purposes and she went through many scratchers during her recovery process.
