735.0. "Placing Pets with the Elderly" by HUMOR::EPPES (Make 'em laugh) Tue Sep 01 1987 21:43
From the August 1987 issue of SELF magazine:
Purina will pair homeless dogs and cats with anyone over 60
and pick up the tab for 1) adoption fees from a shelter;
2) a once-over by a vet (including shots, neutering), and
3) necessities like a leash, bowl, starter-food (guess what
brand). So far more than 5,000 older folks in 90 cities
have picked up pets -- and a heartwarming extra payoff: Of
the first 200 adopters surveyed, 97 percent said they felt
happier; 93 percent, less lonely; 75 percent, healthier.
For where/hows, or to pitch in yourself, contact Purina Pets
for People, 800-345-5678.
Just thought I'd pass this along.

| My husband told me something, along these lines, which I thought
was very interesting. He said that since we got Trouble, I have
gotten "younger" (I'm not THAT old). I do know that I'm much happier
than I was 4 1/2 months ago, and that things don't seem to upset
me as much or as often. I attribute all these things to being owned
by a cat.
