Adopt-a-Cat Scratching Pads

The shelter environmental can be extremely stressful to cats awaiting a forever home - imagine living in a small metal cage, in an unfamiliar place, with your worst enemy barking in the background!

Scratching helps alleviate stress and boredom, but it also allows the cat to stretch its muscles, keep its claws honed and healthy, and mark its territory both visually and through scent -- all basic instinctual needs.

Unfortunately, shelters are also feeling the pressure of the recession, which has resulted in fewer adoptions, more relinquished pets, and declines in much needed donations (like scratching pads). Imperial Cal wants to help, which is why we've developed a line of low cost, high-quality scratching pads for use in animal shelters.

Our Adopt-a-Cat scratchers designed to fit within the small space of a shelter cage, and they feature a cute "Adopt Me" label to encourage potential adopters to take home a friendly, sweet and loyal kitty. We hope you will consider purchasing a case (or 2!) of our Adopt-a-Cat Scratchers to donate to the cats at your local animal Shelter.

For only $20 (with free shipping), Imperial Cat will ship a case of 15 Adopt-a-Cat Scratchers and a 1 oz. package of Certified Organic Catnip to the shelter of your choice. And, through the month of November, with every order over $200, Imperial Cat will donate a case of Adopt-a-Cat scratchers to a local shelter/rescue.
