Kitten Companions Project
Tender Loving Cats, Inc. began the “Kitten Companions Project” to bring happiness and joy to senior residents living at local Nursing Homes, Assisted Living Facilities and attending at Senior Centers. In-turn the residents are helping the kittens become more socialized to human affection.
We held our first “Kitten Companions Project” event at Our Lady of Consolation Nursing Home & Rehab Care Center in West Islip, NY. We brought in 11 kittens and a friendly nursing mom cat to meet about 30 residents and brighten their day!
The residents were so happy and the kittens had a great socializing session. One of the residents came up to us at the end and thanked us for bringing the kittens. She had looked forward to the event and had been smiling since she found out kittens were coming, she said “This is the happiest I’ve been in a long time.”
Friendly Mom Cat named “Princess” and her kittens: “Button”, “Harley”, “Batman”, “Gypsy” and “Baby” made an appearance at TrueCare in Massapequa for a “Kitten Companions Project” event.
TrueCare offers elderly care services unique to any other care facility in the area, providing one-stop assistance for dementia and Alzheimer's patients. The kittens brought many therapeutic benefits to all including Joy, Laughter and Comfort - not to mention Unconditional Love! Those patients who had attended the event have not stopped talking about how much fun they had and TrueCare is excited to make “Kitten Companions” a regular event!!
