Assisi Animal Foundation and Shelter: Pet Therapy Program 
An animal shelter based in Crystal Lake , Illinois also has a pet visitation program. While cats are often used in therapy programs I can't remember a site that uses both cats and dogs , but pictures mostly cats. This is good, as it reminds people that cats can do it too.
