1. Draven is a two-year old rescue cat from Pennsylvania.
He spends his time visiting hospitals, convalescent centers, schools, and an Assisted Living Center.
During his visits to hospitals, Draven rides in a pet stroller so he’s “at a good level for bed ridden folks.”
Sometimes he’ll even jump out of the stroller and snuggle up on a patient’s bed!
Draven also has a special “treat stick” that his new friends can feed him from.
He’s even encouraged people with an injured or weak arm to feed him, despite their ailment.
In addition to bringing joy to everyone he meets, he travels around to conventions and competitions to help raise awareness for the amazing work that therapy cats do.
HE’S TOO CUTE TO HANDLE.
