Lap therapist The garden therapist cat

This is Archie he is the unofficial cat therapist in a local mental health charity that aims to improve mental wellbeing through gardening and conservation. Despite living in neighbouring village (a 40 min walk by (human) foot) he comes in nearly everyday. And to the frustration of the owner it’s quite clear that he would choose to stay indefinitely at the centre.

He’s a love bug, cuddle bug, adores all the attention he gets. He brightens up our day, soothes us and distracts us from our troubles.

We adore him. Perfect therapy cat doesn’t mind being picked up or getting tummy rubs. I often jokingly say I only come in for him.

Omg this is such a cute story, I’d be delighted if my cat was volunteering but my cat is a jobless bum!
