Oreo, the cat who somehow found her way into a nursing home –
and decided to work there. “She’s like the family here. She helps
the residents, she helps the employees, and we just love her,” said
Carmen Delgado, receptionist of St. Augustine Health Ministries in
Cleveland, Ohio.
Everyone appreciates the kitty’s
presence. “Most of the people we serve here had pets… so to have
Oreo here, for them to be able to come out and pet the cat and see
how the cat is doing… it brings… those feelings of home,” Dana
Carns, director of advancement, said.
“I’m always getting pictures, even
on the weekends or at night that the staff are taking. ‘Oh look,
Oreo is at the reception desk, answering the phone, because it’s
after hours’, or ‘she’s sitting on a bench with a resident who’s
waiting for her ride.'”
“The residents were so excited to
have Oreo around. They all love her and seek her out for a
snuggle,” Carns told Meow News.
