Frequently overlooked during kitten and puppy season, an older dog or cat can make the perfect companion—and that’s why we’re singing their praises!
6 great reasons to adopt a senior cat
- Older cats are easier to take care of – their calmer character is perfect for a senior citizen, someone with a quiet home, or even a busy professional who’s worried about their kitty getting into trouble while they’re at work.
- Senior cats’ personalities are well-established, so you know what temperament you’re getting.
- Older cats are often more tolerant and better with small children.
- Adopting a senior cat makes a statement about compassion and the value of life at all ages.
- Homeward Pet senior cats are 8 years of age and up, so they’ve still got plenty of life ahead of them and may well live another decade or more!
- Most importantly, every cat regardless of age deserves a good home.
