For the survey was chosen a qualitative investigative strategy, a method of interviewing, and a technique of semi-structured interview. The examined sample consisted of 4 informants providing felinotherapy in retirement homes, who were chosen by purposive quota sampling. Information obtained from interviews were analysed via open coding. Acquired codes were divided into categories from which were subsequently formed schemes. The exploratory survey revealed that felinotherapy is provided only in two retirement homes in the South-Bohemian region. Used methods in nursing homes are activities with animals and therapies with the help of animals. The benefit is from the perspective of workers providing felinotherapy seen mainly from the psychosocial and physical sides.
