During the recording of our podcast episode on the importance of cat enrichment, our Director of Education, Melissa Logan, brought one of her cats, Neville, to demonstrate how to engage cats in enrichment. Neville is affectionate, playful and curious and enjoys coming to the Alberta SPCA office.
Melissa thought Neville would be a great ambassador for explaining why cat enrichment is so important to the overall well-being of cats, especially those who spend their time indoors.
