ALPENA, Mich. — If you enjoy “Pets of the Week,” you may have noticed that we’ve been filming adult cats in the kitten playroom. That’s because, for the past month or so, the adult colony’s been under renovation. As of this week, the work is finally done.

Clark Construction Company gave the room a total overhaul. The project was part of their “Living our Values” program, in which they give back to the community. The new room features sturdier catwalks, floral decals, and even a TV.

Humane Society president Cindy Johnson says the room feels like a fresh start.

“The wall on the bottom is now all scrubbable. It’s all new material, so the smell has gone out to the dumpster… This room is just absolutely stunning. We couldn’t have asked for anything better.”

Johnson says the most important update is how easily staff can clean the room.

From the walls, to the floors, to the shelves, everything is an easy–to–scrub surface.

This helps the humane society stay in line with state standards.
