Feline Friends

I had an article published yesterday about a new research project for which MU’s Research Center for Human-Animal Interaction is raising funds. Dr. Gretchen Carlisle and her colleagues hope to raise $29,000 for the Feline Friends Project, in which cats will be tested for their temperament, adopted from local shelters and placed with families of children with autism.
