Why a Sensory Pet?
Our Sensory Pet kitten is more than a toy—it’s a comforting companion designed specifically for older adults and care-home residents. With its gentle purring, realistic weight and dual textures, it provides multisensory stimulation that can:
- Reduce anxiety and agitation through rhythmic purring and soft fur touch
- Encourage meaningful engagement in sensory aids activities
- Promote social interaction when used in group reminiscence sessions.
- Calming Petting Sessions: Guide residents to gently stroke the kitten’s fur while listening to its gentle purr to reduce anxiety and encourage relaxation.
- Memory Sharing Circles: Use the purring kitten to prompt stories of past pets and experiences, fostering social engagement and reminiscence.
- Sensory Matching Game: Pair the kitten with different textured fabrics or objects, asking participants to compare the fur’s softness with other materials for tactile exploration.
- Interactive Group Pass: Pass the kitten around in a circle, inviting each person to describe how the pet feels and sounds, promoting communication and peer support.
- Music & Pet Therapy: Combine soft background music with pet interaction, synchronising strokes with the rhythm to improve motor skills and uplift mood.
