This need is greatest for senior cats. Older cats tend to be overlooked at shelters — after all, it’s hard to resist the cuteness of a kitten — and can sometimes linger at shelters for months or years without being adopted.
If you’re thinking about welcoming a cat into your home, consider adopting a senior cat. Rescuing an older cat could be the right option for you and your family. Here are five reasons a senior cat may be the right choice:
If you’re thinking about welcoming a cat into your home, consider adopting a senior cat. Rescuing an older cat could be the right option for you and your family. Here are five reasons a senior cat may be the right choice:
- They tend to have a calmer temperament than kittens.
- Their personalities are already apparent, so you know what kind of cat you’re getting.
- They can potentially get along better with cats already in your home.
- They are usually better with kids than kittens or younger cats.
- They are often less expensive to adopt.

No, she’s not a Las Vegas showgirl! She’s just a beautiful young soul who needs a forever home. But be prepared—she will definitely dazzle you when you learn how she has survived through a challenging situation, 2 foster homes, and one adoption which turned into abandonment. For years, Dazzle lived by a freeway, but was fed daily by a kind woman. She finally went to a foster home where an adopter was then found. However, after just a few days, the adopter abandoned her at the vet’s office because Dazzle was ill. She is now at another foster home while she is recovering from a digestive sensitivity. We would love to find an adopter for her. Dazzle is understandably shy and will take some time to trust. However, she is easily held and plays with toys. You just want to take her in your arms and love and comfort her! Look at her beauty and ask yourself how it is that this precious girl has not yet found a home. Perhaps a quiet home with no other pets or young children. Could your home be the one?
Our Young "Grandpa Kitty!"

Come Meet Mighty Montana !!!!! He has such a cute face! At first, we thought he was feral but he was only just fearful. We are pretty sure he had a home at some point, was abandoned or abused and ended up navigating the streets all by himself. He does like to play, and appears to enjoy petting more on his head vs. his body. For some of the volunteers he knows and trusts, he rolls over and shows his belly wanting to be loved and rubbed. We found that since Montana loves to protect all the younger kitties, we have made him our honorary “Grandpa kitty”, even though he isn’t very old. He seems to prefer the company of younger kitties, but gets along just fine with most of our adult kitties. Our wonderful team of socializers are working with him, and he has gone from being isolated, to now being out, cage-free, in a room with other kitties. Montana is FIV+ and needs no meds. This condition is easily managed as long as the kitty is kept indoors.
SENIOR MOMENTS--ADOPT SOME WHISKER WISDOM!
