Residents at
HC-One’s Coppice Lodge Care Home in Arnold, Nottingham, got into the purry spirit this International Cat Day (August 8) by transforming their in-house café into a charming Kitty Café, creating an unforgettable afternoon filled with tea, treats, and feline fun.
The delightfully themed event offered residents the chance to enjoy a traditional afternoon tea while accompanied by Gemma, a gentle and friendly Black Cat. This unique experience was designed not only to offer delicious refreshments but also to provide comfort and a sprinkle of joy to all who took part.
Resident Freda shared:
“I used to have a Tom Cat called Ginger. But when I saw Gemma, she was so soft and enjoyed all the fuss that she received and it brought back many happy memories.”
Angela Allen, HC-One’s Coppice Lodge Front of House Manager, said:
“Many of our residents have fond memories of having pets, and we know the therapeutic benefits animals can bring. The Kitty Café was a wonderful way to bring smiles and create a calming, joyful atmosphere.”
