Mister Rogers & Van Gogh
Since December 2013, Many Moons has provided a loving home for cats in need. Mister Rogers and Van Gogh have been essential members of the team since June 2018. They are full of curious, affectionate energy and unconditional positive regard for each and every client. Mister Rogers and Van Gogh are strong models of the therapeutic power of play, exploration, and long naps in weird places.
Mister Rogers is a happy helper. He is outgoing and approaches everyone with acceptance and curiosity. He appreciates homemade toys and can be silly with client’s personal belongings — shoelaces, open bags, and fluffy winter coats. He might even add some paint footprints to your artwork!
Van Gogh is a dreamy thinker. He has a relaxed vibe and will usually wait to be approached. He welcomes attention and is quick to purr. Most often, Van Gogh can be found sleeping (sometimes right on top of his brother!).
"For myself, cats are very helpful to relax and help in the therapeutic process. Cats are also very helpful to talk about my feelings in ways I wouldn't feel comfortable doing. They are nice and non-judging, so it makes me feel good when I pet the cats."
— Josh, age 16
