Edinburg, TX – Zane Grey, a 5-year-old rescued Maine Coon with Therapy Animals of San Antonio, made a special visit to DHR Health in Edinburg, Texas this week with his handler Beverly Oakes. The pair travel across the state on a volunteer basis bringing people and animals together for healing.
On Monday, January 31st, Zane Grey, a certified therapy cat, visited medical staff and pediatric patients at DHR Health.
That’s where the real magic happened. Toddlers and teens were quick to pet and snuggle the therapy cat, and were delighted to have such a sweet, furry friend at their bedside.
Zane and Beverly then visited the DHR Health Rehabilitation Hospital on Tuesday where patients received some of Zane’s healing purr powers. Therapy cats are relied on for emotional support, to provide comfort to those dealing with disabilities, disorders or who are in particular need of companion support.
DHR Health would like to thank Beverly Oakes, Zane Grey, and Therapy Animals of San Antonio for their visit. The volunteer non-profit organization not only provides visits to hospitals and other facilities, but they take part in educational presentations and crisis situations.
