Cat naps are set to be replaced with cat therapy thanks to the visits of half a dozen Cat Haven moggies at Amana Living's James Brown House in Osborne Park.

Felines will soon be regular visitors to the 61 residents at the facility as part of a pet therapy program involving Cat Haven volunteers and occupational therapists from Amana Living.

Cat Haven Spokesperson Jessica Reid said the cats selected to participate in the program enjoy getting out of their kennels and receiving attention from the residents.

"The cats chosen for the visits are easy going and it's great to see the enjoyment and companionship they provide the seniors," Ms Reid said.

"Our animals have a good time at the centre and the residents' smiles show they are getting a lot out of these visits too.

Helen Bagnall, Care Manager at James Brown House, said the benefits of pet therapy are well documented and residents have already expressed their enjoyment from participating in the program.

"Many of our residents have owned cats or other pets in the past and spending time with these animals has a very therapeutic effect on them and leads to trips down memory lane," she said.

"As well as receiving visits from the Cat Haven's residents our residents have begun fundraising for the haven to help them in their rescue and re-homing work, so it's a great initiative for everyone involved."

All cats involved in the therapy program with Amana Living are available for adoption from Cat Haven.

Cat Haven has produced its first ever professional video and is inviting you to view it on their website homepage at www.cathaven.com.au

Cat Haven Spokesperson Jessica Reid who directed the video said the aim was to showcase the important work the not-for-profit charity undertakes, the services they provide the community, and what people can do to support cat welfare in WA.

"A lot of people aren't aware of Cat Haven's full range of services, so this video will explain it to them, "Ms Reid said.

The video features information on the shelters general operations as well as it's key services including a veterinary clinic, foster care program, ranger service and volunteering opportunities.

The video also raises awareness of cat welfare issues in Western Australia and outlines what people can do to help.

"There are so many ways people can help us support cat welfare in WA whether it be volunteering, foster caring, donating or becoming a member," Ms Reid said.

"And there's also some great footage of some very cute cats and kittens in the video too."

As well as featuring on Cat Haven's website, the video has also been uploaded to YouTube.

Cat Haven was very lucky to have the help of Video Producer Nicholas Hatherly of Media 66, who has over 20 years experience which has included significant roles with three commercial television networks and regional television.

"His experience has led to a first-class production that provides the public with information of Cat Haven's services and the support we provide the community," said Ms Reid.
