Celebrating the Joy of Feline Companionship

The Healing Power of Cats

At Crouse Hospital, we've witnessed firsthand the transformative impact that cats can have on our patients' lives. Whether it's a child recovering from surgery or an elderly adult struggling with dementia, the simple act of petting a cat has been shown to reduce stress and anxiety levels, promote relaxation, and even stimulate social interaction.

The Science Behind Feline Therapy

Studies have consistently shown that animal-assisted therapy can lead to significant improvements in mental health outcomes, including reduced symptoms of depression and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). In fact, many hospitals and healthcare facilities are now incorporating cat therapy programs into their treatment plans.

Spreading Joy and Companionship

As part of our commitment to promoting pet therapy and animal-assisted activities, we're excited to announce a new initiative aimed at bringing joy and companionship to those in need. By partnering with local shelters and rescue organizations, we'll be providing cats for visits to hospitals, nursing homes, and other healthcare facilities.
