Innovative sponsorship helps Regina's outdoor cats

/

Hotshots body warmers and cats may seem like an unlikely duo, but thanks to David Astley & Co. Inc., Hotshots body warmers are helping Regina Cat Rescue's outdoor cats get a drink of water this winter.

David Astley & Co. have generously donated two cases of their Hotshots body warmers to RCR - earning them a bronze sponsorship and the love of our feral and stray cats!

In the winter, one of RCR's challenges is making sure the cats at our feral colonies have water to drink. Some feral feeding stations have access to electrical outlets so heated water bowls can be plugged in, but at many other stations this isn't an option. Now thanks to the Hotshots body warmers we can keep the water flowing and unfrozen for hours at a time giving Regina's feral and stray cats a better chance at hydration.
