At the HBSPCA, we believe that mental stimulation is just as important as physical care. Thatâs why enrichment is a key part of our daily routine for both cats and dogs in our care.
From snuffle mats and puzzle feeders to toys that encourage play and curiosity, we use a variety of tools to keep animals engaged and reduce stress. Dogs enjoy exploring different scents and environments during outdoor time, while our feline friends benefit from climbing structures, window perches, and interactive toys. These enriching experiences help animals stay happy, healthy, and ready for their forever homes.
From our $100,000 Cat Catio to our live Kitty Cam, every moment of play, exploration, and gentle connection brings our cats one step closer to their perfect family.
Thanks to a transformative $100,000 gift and the ongoing generosity of our community, our brand-new Cat Catio is more than an outdoor enclosureâitâs a safe haven. Here, shy kittens stretch in the sunshine, once-traumatized felines learn to trust again, and cats uprooted by family losses discover moments of joy. Volunteers lounge on benches, offer soft voices and slow blinks, and watch as our furry residents greet the world on their own terms.
