The after-school program was born out of ideas and concept within the Orange Ribbon for Animals “SAVE.CARE.LOVE” campaign by Rational Animal, a NYC-based non-profit organization dedicated to using media and marketing to increase public awareness for at-risk animals. Heidi Calderon, 21, an FIT student and aspiring teacher, and Courtney Kistler, 30, a marketing professional, of Rational Animal worked through Citizen Schools, a NYC-based non-profit that partners with middle schools to expand the learning day for children in low-income communities, to execute the ideas for the weekly lessons.
Mother’s Comfort Project: Helping Animals in SheltersSpecial Thanksgiving Sewing Event Announced for November 20
“I didn’t think I had it in me. It would be too hard. It would make me too sad. I would want to bring everyone home with me. That was how I felt on my first visit to a municipal shelter delivering beds for the Mother’s Comfort Project. But, deep down, I also knew that whatever apprehension I had was totally outweighed by wanting to give some love and a soft place to rest to all of the beautiful animals that were there.”
Through the Mother’s Comfort Project, Rational Animal provides comfy homemade beds for animals to curl-up in and muffle the noise. We also make catnip toys adorned with orange animal guardian ribbons. The beds and toys are sewn by Rational Animal volunteers and school clubs at sewing studios in Brooklyn. They are delivered to Animal Care & Control where we place them inside cages and give pats of hope to weary souls.
