THE BATTLEFORDS — Chris Odishaw, owner of Battleford Furniture, is helping Battlefords Humane Society again. After sponsoring a cat room in their new building, Odishaw has donated a brand-new pet fur washer and dryer to the organization.
“We’re ecstatic. He’s (Odishaw) always been a huge supporter of us. It’s just one more way that he shows his support for us,” Michelle Spark, shelter co-ordinator, said.
Odishaw commented on the donation, saying, “Maytag introduced the new pet hair washer and dryer, but where better to test it then the humane society.”
Odishaw also sponsored the community cat room that will be built into the humane society’s new facility, which amounts to a $20,000 donation. Climbing structures, cat trees and toys will be built into the community cat room, and the organization’s cats will be allowed to roam free in the space.
“I’m a supporter of the humane society, we’re one of the sponsors for their new building, we’ve done the ‘sponsor-a-cat’ promotion … we’re just trying to make a difference in the world,” Odishaw said.
“One paw print at a time,” Sparks added.
