Reasons to adopt a senior cat

by | Jul 13, 2016 | Cat Care, Latest Monthly Newsletters

If you are thinking of adding a feline friend to your family you should consider adopting a senior cat. Kittens may be fun and playful but they can be hard work! You’ll find there are many hidden joys if you bring a senior ‘kitty-zen’ into your life.

Here are our top reasons why you should consider adopting a senior cat:

  • A senior cat’s personality has already developed, so you’ll know if he or she is a good fit for your family and other pets
  • Senior cats are already toilet trained
  • Senior cats are quieter, more mature and make great napping buddies – they are the perfect companion
  • Senior cats are some of the hardest to find homes for – when you adopt a senior cat, you’re saving a life and most cats know it and will be grateful for a second chance.
