Did you know that you can interact with cats awaiting adoption, in real time, right from your computer?

Play time is here. 

So, you're bored at work, and you want to play with a kitty. Well, instead of going to an animal shelter on your lunch break, you can play with cats right from your computer whenever you want!

If you didn't already know, a bunch of animal shelters have cameras that you can pan/zoom and cat toys you can control from your computer. They've been shown to increase adoption rates as well!

Companies like iPet companion are leading the charge. 

"iPet Companion provides shelters with live streaming video which can be controlled by the viewers in addition to interactive toys. Petcube is a growing startup that revolutionized pet cameras for consumers. More recently, they began partnering with shelters to integrate cameras which can be viewed by anyone in the world," via the bestpetcam.com.
