The Cat Prescription

October has started as a high stress month and everyone is worried about the economy. Kitties are here to help! Studies have shown that animal companionship can help reduce stress (you can read more here and here).


We have some amazing cats at the APS that are also stressed and ready to find a companion. Cats are surprisingly self-sufficient and do not require as much attention or training as dogs. They are perfectly content with a good nap spot (they sleep up to 15 hours per day), a clean litter box, fresh food & water, a view from the window (cat tv), and 20-60 minutes per day of human interaction/play time. They are just happy to be near you and easy to please. I hope you will consider some of these great cats during these stressful times:


Carmela (what a cutie..and so playful and loving. Gets along great with other kitties)
Alexa (My current favorite. So beautiful & soft, needs a home with no other cats)
Mr. Krumples (I love this guy! He's so laid back and a perfect gentleman)
