Cats that are over ten are considered elderly but there are some real benefits in choosing to adopt an older cat.

• You are doing the animal a wonderful act of kindness. Older cats are much less likely to get adopted and the shelters cannot keep them indefinitely.
• Older cats are generally calmer and don’t have some the behavior problems that younger cats may have.
• Personality – Older cats are more mellow and make great companions. They will sit on your lap and purr you to sleep!
• Older cats are less likely to hunt and get themselves into trouble. Although I would always suggest that you keep your cat indoors.
• A senior cat is  also less likely to get underfoot as kittens frequently do.
• An older cat will be completely house trained.

So consider doing a world of service to an older cat by offering her a wonderful new home. You won’t regret it. They may be older but they still have lots of love to give.

Remember, pets are family!
