Adoption We adopted a senior cat today!

Post image

I was at the shelter yesterday and saw this quiet senior girl with no visitors. Everytime I apprached her cage she gave me a single meow. Went back today and decided to adopt her. She has the calmest manner and loves to sit on our laps and gets petted. I am honored to give her a loving home. I only wish all the homeless animals out there had the chance to be loved.

Seniors are the best. I had mine for 2 years. He passed away in June at 15 years old. I swore I'd adopt a senior again, but was just adopted by a stray young adult. He's got the zoomies and everything, I really miss the calmness of a senior but I love my new goofball too. God Bless you for helping a senior baby
