Our LapCats visits had been in remission for a few months, but we're back in the swing of things now! The cats and volunteers had a blast, as usual!
This LapCats team consisted of LapCats Malcolm, Sonny, Sam, and Maude and volunteers Tracy, Lisa, Lianna, Amanda, and Janet. We visited the Oakridge Senior Care Home in El Dorado Hills.
The residents lived in a grouping of homes in a

Malcolm, the youngest LapCat, wanted to explore everything, showing off his energy to everyone.

We hope to continue our LapCats regularly each month because of the joy it brings to both the re
