** After watching this heartwarming story to celebrate National Kitten Day you will want to cuddle and hug that fur ball for all the love and comfort that they bring to our lives. **
Did you know that new kittens need to be bottle fed every couple of hours? The problem is most shelters don't have the manpower to take care of all the kittens' needs. In order to solve this dilemma, the Pima Animal Care Center (PACC) and Catalina Springs Memory Care Center are pairing up and both the kittens and the seniors are benefiting from it.
The PACC solely relies on the help of foster families to care for new kittens. So, when two kittens were abandoned there, they needed some help. Thanks to Catalina Springs Memory Care and their senior residents, these kittens are now being well cared for and will be completely ready for their forever homes.
Catalina's Health Service Director, Rebecca Hamilton, saw this as an opportunity to do something special for the people under her care. "We are always looking for new activities for our residents that bring depth, meaning, and joy into their lives" she says.
The constant love and contact not only benefits the kittens but the seniors too. The Catalina Springs Memory Care center serves the needs of individuals with Alzheimer's disease, dementia and other forms of memory loss. The contact with the kittens helps residents remember specific memories from their childhood, which is not always easy for the patients at the memory center.
"This is like the next level for us." raves Karen Hollish from PACC. "This is escalating out into the community and not only benefiting the pets in our care, but benefitting people. This is by far the most amazing professional experience I've ever had."
