Did you know owning a cat cuts a person’s stroke risk by more than a third!!! Researchers theorize that petting a cat can lower stress or that the type of people who own cats are more stress-free naturally.
While most of us are aware of canines being used as therapy animals or service pets, your new kitten can also bring many added benefits to your life!
Many facilities throughout the US offer animal contact to patients and residents as a part of therapy or to lift the spirits of those suffering from various medical conditions. You may find these excellent therapy animals in hospitals, nursing homes, rehabilitation centers, schools, and other facilities.
Allergy prevention
A seven-year study of almost 1000 children found that children exposed to dogs and cats as babies were half as likely to have allergies and risk factors for asthma as they grew up than those with no pets. Infants with more than one pet in the home had the lowest risk of allergies. So, even though you might have to be cautious with pets around babies to ensure they don’t become aggressive with them, having those pets around could benefit your child in the long run.
Purr-fect for comfort
If you have owned a feline in the past, have you noticed how they have the innate gift of being there for comfort when you are in need? They almost know and can feel when we are upset. In addition, they always try their best to let us know they are there. I know that has certainly been the case year after year. The bond we create with our feline companions is unmatched.
We have come in contact with numerous customers who have experienced difficult times in their lives: the death of a family member, serious medical issues, depression, loss of a beloved pet, and deployment, to name a few. They come to us seeking comfort and companionship with one of our beautiful, docile, loving kittens. To share our love of the Persian breed and to know that our kittens have offered so much comfort to our customers means the world to us.
Many of our therapy kitties serve as luxury service animals in various nursing & rehabilitation centers across the country, as well as several PTSD clients.
While all our kittens come highly socialized and eager to be a part of your family and spend much one-on-one time with their new owners, a large amount of them have been highly bred to be emotional support animals to our clients with emotional needs such as
• Depression
