BENEFITS OF
KITTEN THERAPY
-
Emotional Well-being: Interacting with kittens can evoke positive emotions, reduce feelings of loneliness, and provide companionship, enhancing their overall emotional well-being.
-
Stress Reduction: Spending time with kittens has been shown to lower stress levels and decrease anxiety, promoting relaxation and a sense of calm.
-
Physical Activity: Engaging with kittens often involves activities such as petting, playing, and grooming, which can encourage physical movement, contributing to their overall health and mobility.
-
Social Engagement: Kittens can serve as conversation starters and icebreakers, facilitating social interactions and fostering a sense of community within the facility.

Mental Stimulation: Pet therapy can greatly reduce feelings of loneliness, depression, anxiety, and confusion in individuals with dementia. Regular animal visits offer comfort and companionship, easing anger, frustration, and helplessness often associated with the condition.
Animals can trigger memories, encourage conversation, and bring joy, enhancing emotional well-being and quality of life for both individuals and caregivers.

Mood Enhancement: The playful and affectionate nature of kittens can uplift residents' moods, boost morale, and create a positive atmosphere within the facility.
