Don't know how I missed this post.....welcome to the Lair, Jen. We have a wonderful bunch of people here who will gladly share our knowledge, stories, pics, and laughs. We genuinely care about each other and we all love our cats. Your babies are gorgeous!! I love it that they are therapy cats. The pic with the lady with Moses on her lap when he was a baby says it all. She was touched by his beautiful little soul. Thanks for volunteering with them--you bring joy where there is so little of it. I'm looking forward to getting to know you and your babies better.
Hugs,
Susi and the gang

They LOVE them, especially the Alzheimer's pts and Fluffy. She will just it in their arms and let them rock her like a baby and sing to her, etc. Keeps them nice and calm actually. Plus, a lot of the seniors don't get to see their pets after they go to their nursing homes, and they miss them so terribly. Just to sit and pet an animal brings them so much peace. They could care less if the cat has hair or not at that point. Sometimes they cry when they just sit on their laps, and are just so grateful to get pet therapy.

So sweet. Before my dad passed back in 09, he was in a nursing facility. They allowed pet visits. You're right. The residents truly do enjoy touching animals. The smallest bit of kindness goes a long way! You're a sweetheart for doing this!!!:Smile:
