Purrfect Seniors Adoption Contract
We understand that senior or special needs cats often come with additional care costs, so Purrfect Seniors covers expenses like medical bills, medications, and special diets.
You will be provided with our sponsorship contract through us directly, outlining how we’ll support you and your new companion.
-
To adopt a sponsored cat, you’ll need approval from both the shelter and Purrfect Seniors.
1. Through the Shelter:
Fill out the shelter's standard adoption application and ensure you meet their requirements. Each cat available for our sponsorship has directions for how to apply on their profile page.
2. Through Purrfect Seniors:
Contact us directly and we’ll guide you through our approval process. We’ll have a brief conversation to learn more about you and ensure you’re ready to give the cat a loving home.
If you'd like to get started sooner, you can fill out our Adoption Questionnaire and email it to info@purrfectseniors.ca.
Once approved, you’ll receive confirmation from us before moving on to the final step.
-
Once you're approved, you will sign Purrfect Seniors’s contract, and the shelter will complete the adoption process.
With everything finalized, you can take your new feline friend home! We’ll cover the adoption fees and, if needed, provide a care package to help both of you settle in.
-

We are committed to staying in touch to ensure that your needs are met and that your new cat is thriving in their new home. This will involve regular wellness checks and check-ins with our dedicated Purrfect Seniors volunteers. We're here to support you and your new companion!

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.
