The Corporate Event Your Team Will Never Stop Talking About
Puppy yoga and cuddle experiences for offices, conferences, retreats, and teams of all sizes. We handle everything. Your team just shows up and falls in love.
the Ultimate Team Builder
There’s nothing like a room full of adorable, adoptable rescue puppies to dissolve stress, spark conversation, and bring a team together. Whether it’s an employee appreciation day, a corporate retreat, a conference activation, or a client event — a Kitten Paws experience is the one your team will be talking about for months.
We partner with local animal rescue organizations to bring puppies directly to your office or venue. Every event is fully coordinated by our team, supported by trained handlers, and includes a tax-deductible donation to the rescue that provided the puppies. You just show up.

🎉 Employee Appreciation Days
Show your team how much they mean to you with an experience they’ll never forget. From small office gatherings to company-wide celebrations, we scale to fit your group. A puppy yoga class or come-and-go cuddle corner is the employee appreciation idea that actually gets people excited — and the one they’ll still be talking about six months later.
🤝 Team Building Events
Forget the ropes course. Puppy yoga is the team building activity everyone actually wants to do. Structured, fun, and guaranteed to break the ice — whether your team is 10 people or 100. Research shows human-animal interaction measurably reduces cortisol and increases oxytocin. Your team will feel the difference.
🎪 Conferences & Trade Shows
A Puppy Cuddle Corner is the most talked-about activation at any conference. Come-and-go format works alongside your programming for groups of 50 to 1,000+. We handle all logistics, provide COI documentation for your venue, and coordinate with a local rescue partner in your city. Your attendees will be taking photos and tagging your event all day.
🌿 Corporate Retreats & Offsites
Add a morning puppy yoga class to your next corporate retreat or offsite. We can coordinate multiple sessions across multiple days with rotating rescue partners to protect puppy well-being — so every morning starts with joy, connection, and adoptable puppies. We have hosted retreats at hotel properties nationwide including Hilton, Omni, and more.
📸 Brand Activations & Product Launches
Puppies stop foot traffic. Period. Add a branded puppy activation to your next launch, pop-up, or experiential marketing event for instant social content and brand love. We handle all logistics — you get all the content, the buzz, and the feel-good story.
🥂 Client Appreciation Events
Make your next client event unforgettable. A puppy yoga or cuddle experience is a premium, distinctive offering that shows clients you go above and beyond. It’s a conversation starter, a social media moment, and a feel-good experience all in one — because every event also supports rescue animals.

A: Yes — we come to you. We operate nationwide and travel to your office, hotel, conference venue, or any indoor space. We just need a fully enclosed, climate-controlled area for the puppies.
