Therapy Cat Rests After a Long Day of Work

Therapy Cat Rests After a Long Day of Work

Oscar, a certified therapy cat, does hospice care and helps patients deal with extremely difficult circumstances. After a long day on the job, there’s nothing Oscar enjoys more than taking a load off, kicking back and curling up in bed with his favorite pillows for some R&R.

“Don’t get me wrong, Oscar loves his job,” said Susan Wilkins, a source close to the situation, “but it can also be very draining. And I mean, let’s be honest here: he’s a cat – sleeping is pretty much what they do.”

Oscar, who was adopted as a rescue and has battled numerous hardships in his life, is a real-life certified hospice therapy pet. This fluffy little hero’s rags to riches story, as well as that of his late friend, Nubiana, is chronicled in the book Nubiana: A True Story About a Very Special Kitty. 50% of the profits from sales of the book go to fund animal rescue groups, and over $700 has been donated since the book was released last summer.
