“Morgan the Cat”, one of the professional mascots recently donated to the Humane Society of Morgan County by its Board of Directors, made her public debut in town on Saturday, June 8th during “Hey Girl Friend” weekend. Morgan and her escorts strolled down the streets and through Berkeley Springs State Park greeting people and accepting donations for the animals at the Adoption Center. Morgan stopped in the Nature Niche for a photo-op with employee Desiree Adams and owner Judy Webb who presented the mascot with a check from the donations the store collects for the Humane Society. Morgan and her escorts also took pre-arranged cool off and rest stops in Berkeley Springs Cottage Rentals, Pollick’s Sweets, Recycling Works, Lion’s Lair and Cathy’s Art, Jewelry & Gifts.

“Morgan the Cat” and fellow mascot, “Berkeley the Dog” will be seen at many events including the Humane Society’s upcoming 4th annual Poker Run on July 12th at the Troubadour as well as at community events including the County Fair and the Apple Butter Festival.

Serving as a mascot or as a mascot escort is a new opportunity available to anyone who’s been looking for a way to volunteer with the Humane Society. More information about this opportunity, along with information about the Adoption Center, activities of the Humane Society, a link to Pet Finders and information on pet-related concerns and issues, can be found at the Humane Society’s website www.hsmc-wv.org.
