What a cutieeeeeeee!!! At work we have a smokie grey femme. Her name is Ashley. She knows who gives her the treats and goes to their room. I carry treats & cat nip in my fanny pack.
You have a cat at your work place? Gosh, if you can have a kitty there then I'll talk to my mom. She is a CNA, and there's just so many kitties out there looking for a warm place to stay. I think elders would love a kitty companion.
PrettyKitty, there are many nursing homes who have a "house cat". Check and see what the rules are where she works. Animals can often reach the elderly in ways humans can't. We have a couple of nursing homes here, one that has a "house cat" and one that has a dog. It just has to be a well behaved, healthy animal, I guess.
Have you ever thought of doing pet therapy? I've always wanted to do that. Still do.
Thanks, April. I would love to do pet therapy. Right now I don't have the time or the pet to do this lol. Abby, being an indoor kitty would freak out if he saw strangers. I think the animal first needs to get used to being with a lot of people and I think you'd have to work on socialization when the animal is still a baby. Wrong? :)
