Feline Friends at Arlington Country Day School

Why Adopting a Cat Can be a Great Decision for Your Family

As an educational institution, we understand the importance of teaching children valuable life skills. One such skill is empathy and compassion towards all living beings. By adopting a cat, your family can learn these essential values while also gaining a loving companion.

Our school has partnered with local animal shelters to promote responsible pet ownership and reduce the number of stray animals in our community. We believe that every child deserves a chance to experience the joy and responsibility of caring for a pet.

The Benefits of Having Cats in the Classroom

Research has shown that having cats in the classroom can have a positive impact on students' mental health, social skills, and academic performance. Our school is committed to providing a nurturing environment for all our students, and we believe that incorporating therapy cats into our curriculum can be an effective way to achieve this goal.

By introducing cats into our educational setting, we aim to create a calming atmosphere that encourages creativity, focus, and collaboration among our students.

How You Can Support Our Feline Friends

As an integral part of our community, we rely on the support of local animal lovers to continue our mission. By adopting a cat from our partner shelters or donating to our cause, you can help us make a difference in the lives of these deserving animals.

We also encourage our students and their families to participate in volunteer work at our partner shelters, where they can learn valuable skills such as animal care and social responsibility.
