Kitten Sittin

Transition Services is excited to announce our new cat care program, KITTEN SITTIN’, which will assist the POPPY FOUNDATION. The Poppy Foundation, which is affiliated with the Bonanza Cat Hospital, houses and takes care of cats that are mostly unadoptable due to health issues. The Poppy Foundation was created in 2001 after the passing of Poppy, Bonanza Cat Hospital’s famous cat. In the last eight years more than 300 cats have benefited from the Poppy Foundation. Through this new project Transition Services is further expanding its mission of offering work activities that contribute to the further independence of our participants and provide unique services to the Las Vegas community.

The POPPY FOUNDATION’S volunteers, technicians and veterinarian, along with Transition’s staff members will supervise and facilitate the animal care experience for our participants. The activities will occur at the Poppy Foundation’s cat sanctuary, located next to the Bonanza Cat Hospital at 7550 West Lake Meade, Suite #1, Las Vegas.

The benefits for both the individuals and the animals are enormous. The Poppy Foundation cats are a mix of old and young, playful and very sleepy kitties that are comfortable around people. All the cats will get a big boost by having plenty of opportunity to socialize, be groomed and just plain loved by Transition’s individuals. Participants will learn real-life skills which will help us grow the Kitten Sittin’ program into an independent lifetime care program for cats that have outlived their owner. Individuals will have an opportunity to learn cleaning and maintenance skills, how to properly care for cats, and will have plenty of time to enjoy the company of the kitties.
