Happy Halloween! While costumes are cute, therapy visits are about connection, not costumes! Here’s why we keep things costume-free: ✨ The Magic is in the Bond: The natural connection between clients and therapy animals is powerful enough without added accessories. 😕 Reducing Confusion: Costumes may be confusing or distressing, especially for clients with cognitive challenges. 🧼 Prioritizing Safety: Costumes can pose safety risks and make it harder to maintain infection control standards. Instead of costumes, festive bandanas and Pet Partners vests are always welcome! Thank you for helping us make every visit safe, comfortable, and impactful. ❤️

Not only is today Halloween, but it's also Bogie's ✨ 9th birthday! ✨ This little Halloweenie (one of his many nicknames! 🎃) has always had a sixth sense for finding those who need comfort—whether they've faced a tragedy, are feeling down, or just need a friend. Sweet Bogie never leaves a person’s side until his work is done, leaving behind a trail of smiles and comfort wherever he goes. 🥹

When a hospice patient wished for a special visit from a therapy cat, Rorschach and his handler, Paige, were there to make it happen. For someone in hospice care, especially a lifelong cat lover, moments like this are truly priceless. We’re proud to be one of the few organizations that registers cats as therapy animals, bringing comfort, joy, and soothing purrs to those who need it most. 😺💖

Congratulations to Hermie and Niki for passing their reevaluation! 🎉 Hermie was adopted in 2019 and has been a therapy guinea pig since 2022. His favorite activity?
