Have a Best Friends Sleepover!
As part of an innovative new program geared at socializing adoptable cats, Best Friends Animal Sanctuary is now encouraging visitors to take cats with them overnight in their hotel rooms. The first trial run was held with cats Apollo and Teela, and humans Cyndi Pearce and Sherri Orner from North Carolina.

Best Friends has had a doggie sleepover program in place for years, but cats are a little trickier, given their penchant for springing at any open door. With the success of this trial run, the program is now officially kicked off. So if you’re ever in southern Utah, drop by and check out a cat! We visited Best Friends about ten years ago, and it really is a little slice of heaven. If you’re visiting Zion National Park, Bryce Canyon or the north rim of the Grand Canyon (much nicer than the south rim), set some time aside to drop by.
hey that looks like fun! It’s really cool they’re doing that
now that’s a really really cool idea!!!!
What a pawsome idea, but I feel bad that those cats have to ride in a car to get there. I don’t like riding in a car!
Mommy heard about this! She would love to go visit Best Friends someday, and have a kitty or three in her room at night!! The video was pawsome – it looks like cats AND humans had a great time!
My Investor really wants to visit Best Friends. She thinks
“checking out” cats to socialize them overnight is a cool idea. It’s mini-fostering! or … speed-fostering!
Our mommy is a frequent traveller for work and many times has said shelters should pair up with hotels and have cats you can “borrow” (obviously with some screening of the guest). Not only would the cat get some love, but twofers like my mommy wouldnt be so lonely when they are away from their furbies!!!!!!!!!! It is a win-win!
We don’t understand ????????????????????????? Lots of cats need help. So do a lot of people. Bosco.
Oh how very nice. Now my human can go to Utah and have a cat snooze with her…and I can relax.
What a great idea!! We would never be able to choose though..we would want to bring about ten kits to sleep over..mol
