Why Adopt a Senior Cat?

Developed Personalities

What you see is what you get! By the time a cat reaches their senior years, their personality is well-developed. This allows adopters to choose a cat whose temperament matches their preferences and lifestyle. Whether you want a chatty companion or a quiet observer, there’s a senior cat for you.

Unmatched Companionship

Senior cats have a wealth of experience and affection to offer. They are often laid-back and content to cuddle on the couch, making them purrfect companions for those seeking a loving friend. Plus, they often form strong bonds with their adopters and show immense gratitude for being given a second chance at a loving home.

Calm & Low Maintenance

Senior cats are typically less energetic and less likely to engage in destructive behaviours like scratching furniture or climbing curtains than kittens. They tend to be calm, content with lounging around, and enjoy a peaceful environment, making them purrfect companions for quieter homes.

Second Chances

By adopting a senior cat, you’re not just gaining a pet, you’re also giving them a second chance at life. Many senior cats find themselves in shelters through no fault of their own, and often have a harder time finding homes. Your love can make all the difference - they will show their gratitude through affection and loyalty.
