Royal feline takes up residence at Fulton Presbyterian Manor
Fulton Presbyterian Manor got a cat in February, but she’s not just any mouse chaser. Her name is Princess, and the staff and residents treat her accordingly. She is currently two years old and lives in our Assisted Living area. Residents, family members and staff love her.
The “angels” are paper ornaments that will arrive throughout the holiday season along with gifts to the annual Christmas Angel Appeal, which raises funds for the Good Samaritan Program for Benevolent Care. Donors who make gifts are asked to return paper Angel ornaments along with their gifts. The ornaments pay tribute to donors’ family members or friends and are displayed at PMMA communities designated by the donors.
Princess’ unique coloring is matched only by her unique personality.
During the past two years, donors to the angel appeals have given more than $90,000 to the Good Samaritan Program. The program assists PMMA residents who have out-lived their financial resources through no fault of their own. Since PMMA began 66 years ago, no residents have been asked to leave because they exhausted their financial resources. If you would like to participate in the Angel Appeal, please email Development@pmma.org or call 800-336-8511.
Princess assumes the role on her throne, otherwise known as Janet Clark’s walker.
Floyd Masek lets Princess hitch a ride, or as she likes to call it, her chariot.
