Happy cats

Toy enrichment

Earlier today Cat Care Assistant Holly put some new toys in the cat pens. One kitten in particular really loved his new toy. This is a photo of him playing with it.

After the toy was given he took interest straight away and put his front paws into the wholes at the top to try and get to the plastic ball inside. We could hear lots of thrashing and banging noises. Hopefully this will keep him occupied for some time and give mum a rest! 

Here at the adoption centre we believe in making the stay for the cats as happy as possible. Toy enrichment is very important not only to young kittens but to older cats as well. We also like to give the cats catnip, cat grass, carpets, puzzle feeders, cosy bedding and scratching posts. A more relaxed cat is more likely to find a home quicker.

We would be very grateful to receive any cat toys or scratching post donations. We are always in need of supplies to keep the cats entertained!
