Mother of highway shooting victim happy with cat room named in her honour

We had cake. She decorated. We had pizza. Decorations. Penny Myers remembers her daughter Tanya for her love for cats. Every night she did that. There was playtime with the cats. And she did cat birthday parties. He said... Yeah, just, she just, they were everything to her. She just loved her cats. Tanya was fatally shot while riding in a vehicle on a highway outside Weyburn last year. While driving the same stretch of highway nearly a year later, a total stranger decided she wanted to help preserve Tanya's memory. I just wanted her to be remembered for the life that she lived. So I didn't know her before this, so I also wanted other people to know her for that as well. They get that spin, and boy, I tell you. Which one? Warrell raised over $36,000 for this cat playroom in the new Weyburn Humane Society. The room is named in honour of Tanya. It gives the community a space to play with the cats and remember Tanya. Warrell says businesses large and small came together to help raise the money. Penny says the community support means a lot to her. It makes me feel really good to know that, you know, They thought enough of Tanya to do this because she did love animals, and she had a special way with them. The Humane Society says the money will cover the cost of the room and vet bills for cats with high needs. And Jamie went above and beyond what we ever dreamt for the cat room. But yeah, she would love this room. And she would enjoy coming in here and playing with the cats. Penny says she's glad her daughter and her cats will now be remembered for a long time.
