The Hebrew Home at Riverdale, a Bronx nursing home and rehabilitation center, has a pet therapy program featuring dogs, birds and even fish. but wanted to expand the program to accomodate residents 24 hours a day.
That's when they found Hasbro's Companions Pets. The cat option is an interactive, lifelike artificial animal that meows, purrs, blinks, rolls over and responds to touch. The facility is using the companions to comfort residents without the variables of live animals.
The companion dog costs $119, the cat is $99. For more info visit joyforall.hasbro.com.
