Laura often gets asked, “How do you make a cat a Read With Me cat?”
The answer to that is – “You don’t!”
As a matter of fact you, you don’t “make” a cat a therapy cat, either. Statistics show that more dogs pass the Pet Partners evaluation than other species, but that doesn’t mean that there aren’t a lot of other species out there that make great Pet Partners.
Laura happens to be one of the lucky ones with two cats that have made great Pet Partners. Both of her feline boys have loved to ride in the car and love to meet new people. Her house is always full of little people, so being involved in the Read With Me program has been a great fit for them.
If you have a Pet Partner that is or isn’t a dog that you feel would be a good fit for the Read With Me program, Dogs On Call is always looking for more teams to join our current reading teams. We currently have teams in libraries, schools, and after-school programs, and there are many other opportunities too.
