Hatley Health Care in Clanton shared the following story as part of ANHA’s 75 Stories of Care initiative. 

Meet JD – the beloved nursing home cat at Hatley Health Care 🐾

JD didn’t arrive through a formal program — he simply showed up one day and chose his forever family. And from that moment on, residents and staff fell completely in love.

From riding the halls in his stroller like he owns the place to snuggling with residents and visiting staff, JD brings comfort, laughter, and calm to the community every single day. The smiles he sparks and the gentle moments he creates are a reminder that sometimes the best therapy has four paws and a very big heart.
Thank you, Hatley Health Care, Inc., for sharing JD’s story and helping us kick off the 75 Stories of Care Challenge!
