Purrrfect companions

Kelly, a resident in a local Residential Home, was dearly missing the companionship of a furry friend. Her face would light up whenever she saw animals, a clear sign of the joy they brought her.

Recognising this, one of her care team suggested introducing a 'companion cat' to Kelly. These lifelike robotic pets mimic the behaviour of real cats, responding with purrs and movements when stroked. They offer the comfort and companionship of a real pet without the demands of daily care. For residents like Kelly, these Companion Cats provide a soothing presence, helping to alleviate stress and loneliness.

This solution is just one of many options available through our Adult Social Care services. By embracing technology, the ASC team are able to significantly enhance the quality of life for our residents, ensuring they feel supported and connected, even in the absence of a living pet. They have a selection of companion cats and are exploring options for other types of robotic pets.
