SPCA of Lakeland, Florida

Patricia Berry “I am not an organization, but I make catnip-filled cat toys for my local SPCA in Lakeland, Florida.  The cats like them long so they can bite it at one end and kick with their feet at the other. I just make the empty pieces, fill with your fluff and mix in catnip. It calms the kitties while they have to be in the cages. I make approximately 20-30 toys per week, and I do it myself. I had never been a cat person. We always had dogs. But our adult son had a cat, a Siamese cat, that stayed with us when he had to travel for work. That cat stole my heart. She died last summer. She will always be in my heart. I know when I am on the floor stuffing the catnip and filler into the cat toys, she would have been right there with me trying to help me.”
