Community Outreach

About Our Community Outreach Program

Title

The Whisker Society (TWS) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that is dedicated to a dual mission: hosting adoptable cats and enriching human ones. We partner with local adoption organizations to host adoptable cats in our comfortable, enriching lounge. This creates more room and opportunity for other cats in need, while offering cats in our lounge a peaceful place to thrive.

Through our Community Outreach Program, we're bringing the healing power of cat companionship to individuals facing unique life situations and creating intentional, tailored visits for groups in our community. These visits are designed to meet people where they are, whether at a local organization, care facility, or other setting so more people can experience the joy and comfort cats provide.

What A Non-Profit Visit Might Look Like:

Title

We'll discuss how we came to be, what we do, and how we partner with other organizations to help cats find their home. We also offer the opportunity to interact with our cats through:

Gentle Socialization: Spending quiet moments next to a sleeping cat, sharing lap time, or simply enjoying the soothing sound of a loud purr to combat loneliness.

Interactive Play: Using feather wands, laser pointers, or soft toys to engage with energetic cats, encouraging movement and laughter without requiring strenuous physical effort.

Quiet Companionship: Reading out loud to our shy or older cats, creating a peaceful, judgment-free space that builds confidence for the reader and socializes the feline.

Education Focus: As a force-free, fear-free organization we educate groups on how
to best understand and live cohesively with our feline friends.

Age Requirement:

All participants must be 18 years & older

Applicable Groups:

Our Community Outreach program is limited to other non-profit organizations. If you are not part of a non-profit but have a group of people interested in visiting our lounge, you can schedule a booking for the lounge during our regular business hours.

Cost:

$50 per group per session.

Number of Attendees:

We can accommodate up to 10 people per visit. This limit helps us keep the atmosphere calm, manage liability, and maintain a comfortable ratio of visitors to cats.

Available Booking Days & Times:

Monday’s are reserved for community outreach programs in 50-minute sessions between 11am - 4pm. TWS will consider other days and times based on our booking schedule and availability.

Every visit to TWS is an opportunity to create a beautiful new bond. We look forward to your visit and are thrilled to share the unique joy, comfort, and laughter our cats bring into the room. We firmly believe that the simple act of connecting with an animal has the profound capability to enhance life. Whether it is a quiet interaction on your lap or a playful moment that makes you smile, we are dedicated to making your time with us a deeply rewarding experience that brightens your day and lifts your spirit.
