Athens Animal Rescue Shelter has been awarded $10,000 grant from the ASPCA®. The grant, was combined with generous donations from residents of Henderson County to purchase new cat housing for the Athens Animal Rescue Shelter.
Our cat kennels were of poor quality which made it hard to maintain a healthy environment for our catsâ said Jennifer Miller, Shelter Director. âLast winter we held a fundraising drive. The grant from the ASPCA® was added to those donations making it possible to replace all of the old kennels with new stainless steel kitty condos. The kitty condos have a separate space for the litter box which means healthier and happier cats.â
