Life can be stressful. We all need a break at some point to take a few moments and walk away from that screen at work or a situation creating stress and anxiety. The Feline Fix, a nonprofit serving Metro Denver has the perfect solution – kitten therapy!

A study conducted by the Cats Protection feline charity in the United Kingdom found that people who spend time with cats or kittens report feeling calmer and less upset. As reported in Medical News Today, of the cat owners who participated in their survey, 87 percent believed that sharing their lives with a cat improved their overall well-being, while 76 percent felt that their cats helped them cope with daily stress much better.

“Sitting with a relaxed purring cat at the end of a hectic day is a soothing massage for the soul,” explains Beth Skillings, a clinical veterinary officer at Cats Protection. She goes on to say, “Perhaps this is because the reassuring hum is generally associated with calmness and gentle communication, or perhaps it is because the frequency of the vibration is in the range that can stimulate healing.”

So where can you hang out, hold, and cuddle with a small kitten who will give you some kitten therapy? The Feline Fix offers this to various types of organizations, schools, and companies across Metro Denver to educate more people on what they do. While they have a low-cost spay/neuter clinic in Commerce City, helping ensure feral, stray, and pet cats get fixed, the organization also has a foster care and adoption program. This allows The Feline Fix to take in feral and stray kittens, utilize their foster network to care for and socialize them, and ultimately ensure they will make great pets when they are ready to find their forever home.

If you’re wondering if these little kitten therapists are available for adoption, the answer is a resounding yes! Often, the kittens visiting an organization end up finding their family. It’s hard not to fall in love. While The Feline Fix does not adopt out on the spot during these visits, it does begin the conversation with that potential home.

These kittens have visited colleges during finals week, offices around town as a company benefit, and assisted living facilities. The possibilities are endless and the nonprofit loves hearing from all types of organizations inquiring about kitten therapy.

“The Feline Fix is a small organization doing BIG things for the community and it is our way of ensuring people get to know us and become aware of the resources we provide,” says Stacey Baum, Director of Development and Marketing. “We have been around for over 20 years and in that time, we have fixed over 49,000 cats, not only making an enormous dent in the feral and stray cat populations in Metro Denver and surrounding areas, but also taking thousands of kittens off the streets that would otherwise be condemned to a very hard life and not survive long.”

To learn more about The Feline Fix Kitten Therapy program and the work they do, visit TheFelineFix.org or feel free to attend their upcoming free breakfast at The Curtis Ballroom in Greenwood Village on Wednesday, June 28th. You will find more information about that event on their website.

For more than two decades, The Feline Fix has championed the welfare of all cats via four primary focus areas: Spay/Neuter Services, Wellness Clinics, Fostering & Adoption, and a trap-neuter-return (TNR) Program.

The Feline Fix is one of Colorado's leading spay/neuter resources for free roaming "community" cats and other vulnerable or under-resourced cats and kittens. To date they have spayed/ neutered more than 49,000 cats at their clinic, preventing the births of hundreds of thousands of unwanted cats in Denver and its surrounding areas.
