Seattle Children's Presents the Cat Immersion Project for Maga

Maga is a cat-loving teen patient with cancer at Seattle Children's Hospital. She's had to be in the hospital many times, and during her stays what she misses most is her own cat Merry. We asked our Facebook fans to share their favorite cat photos with us, and got an awesome response -- 3,000+ photos! We used these pictures to create this "cat immersion" for Maga -- an audio/visual experience to bring thousands of "virtual" cats to Maga's room.

Check out our Facebook page to see all the photos we received! http://facebook.com/seattlechildrens.

Love this. My younger sister has terminal brain cancer, and when I heard about this project I submitted a couple of pix. You can see my kitties at 1:06. What a sweet project, so nice to see her reaction. <3

Thanks to you, Maga, for giving all of us kitties a chance to show off a little.

Is the video S.C.H. created ever going to be available somewhere (like uTube?).

We don't do Facebook, so if it is available there, we haven't found it yet.

Her voice is adorable <3

No, these aren't tears..they are just from cutting onions..

I was wondering the same thing! Are they heartless? Or perhaps they dislike cancer! Yeah, that's what I'm going with. =)

How could 13 people dislike this!? ><

I teared up! So sweet! What a great idea!!

This video made me cry. I wish there were a way the hospital could make an exception & allow her cat into the hospital, but this is the next best thing I suppose. I am glad I had the opportunity to add pictures of my cats to the mix for her. =)

Surely the 12 dislikes were from people who just hit the wrong button??? Please say it is so? And to the all the people that put this together for this dear child, you are angels. Purrfect in every way!
