Jackie Fantuzzi, Behavior Project Coordinator for the Center for Shelter Dogs at the League, conducted research on factors relevant to the adoption of shelter cats. She came to find that people spent more time looking at cats with toys in their cages than those without.

Shelter’s Edge, the ASPCApro blog, has kicked off a four-part series with low-cost/no-cost ways to repurpose everyday items into the coolest-ever cat toys and features Jackie’s research. Read the first installment of the series here.
