Berkeley County Humane Society: P.L.A.Y. Pet Beds Grant Report

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

2021 P.L.A.Y. Pet Bed Grant Award valued at $528, to help provide bedding to our felines while they reside at the shelter.

Our felines LOVED these mats. We put them in their cat cages and they curled on them for their naps and some even covered up with them like they were playing peek-a-boo with staff and visitors. We also placed some of them in our free-roaming cat playroom and they loved lying on them. It seemed like certain felines had their favorite ones to nap on. The beds wash and dry very nicely, also.

Thank you for giving Berkeley County Humane Society this opportunity.

How many pets did this grant help?

Numerous, since receiving them. We are still using them.

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

Spider Girl (first photo) came to us with ringworm. We treated her and, once she was ready for adoption, she was moved to the free-roaming cat play room. Spider-Girl was very active and really added some playful action to the playroom. She did get adopted and went home to another cat who was just as lively.

Ash (second photo) came to us as a stray, and he too was adopted. He was very loveable and wanted to be held and get some lap loving every time he got the chance.
