Did you know they are considered senior at the age of 11? Anything beyond that, they are called a super-senior.
Losing our pets is a painful experience. It has been almost a year since my 19yr old man kitty, Bartelby passed away and the pain that I feel in my heart still feels fresh.
Adopting an older cat can seem daunting. There are wonderful benefits to adopting or fostering senior cats. You are providing a safe, loving home for them to be comfortable while they enjoy their final days before passing over the rainbow bridge.
Senior cats are most often overlooked at shelters for kittens or younger cats. An older cat already has their personality locked in. They will be grateful for good food, fresh water, and your love....and all the treats of course!
I rescued Fiona and Big Man off of the street over the past year. They are both senior cats. The vet believes that they are between 12-14yrs old, by looking at their teeth. I feel incredibly lucky that they have allowed me to be their meowmie. Everyday, they make me laugh and even though I know our time is limited...I wouldn't change it for anything.
