It’s National Senior Pet Awareness Month— make a difference by adopting an older cat.

Here are just a few of the many reasons a senior pet
makes a loving addition to the family:

• A fuller picture: A senior pet's size, medical history
and personality are already fully developed, so you can
make a more informed decision.

• Minimal destruction: Senior pets are generally trained,
past their teething stage and much calmer.

• Maximum love: Senior pets are usually partial to long,
leisurely cuddle sessions!

At VCA, we're passionate about helping every pet find their forever home, allowing them to receive the love and care they deserve. We're proud to offer support before and after adoption through our Shelter Partnerships and work with animal welfare organizations.
Learn how we are making a difference.

New cat, old tricks!

11/14/2024

Dude is an affectionate, handsome, long-haired gentleman with a playful side. His favorite thing is hanging out with his humans, but he also enjoys playing with catnip mice and wand toys. Dude has had a rough life, and people have not always treated him well. Nonetheless, he remains a trusting and loving companion. At some point, he was likely hit by a car because his X-rays showed old hip fractures. To help with pain caused by these old injuries, he gets a monthly shot of Solensia which FurKids provides.

Due to the combination of his injuries and being declawed, Dude sometimes has accidents outside the litterbox. With few exceptions, these accidents are confined to p*e pads. Dude will need patient adopters who will accept that his fantastic personality and love for people far outweigh these occasional accidents. Dude would do best in a quiet home without other pets, but he should be fine in a home with a quiet, mellow dog. He likes companionship and would be lonely if left on his own for long periods. If you are interested in adopting Dude, please visit furkids.org/adopt to learn more and apply to adopt.

Rosie is the Atlanta Humane Society pet this week!

Rosie is a delightful and easygoing 4-year-old feline with a perfect blend of energy and calm. She’s all about attention and affection, loving every moment she gets to be petted and pampered. Her calm demeanor and playful side come together beautifully, especially when she's enjoying her cardboard scratchers stuffed with catnip. And she has a soft spot for tuna-flavored Temptations—her ultimate treat! Rosie is curious and friendly, especially around people, including children. Though she’s not the biggest fan of being picked up, she doesn’t mind short cuddles, as long as she can come back down when she’s ready. Though she hasn’t been around other pets, her friendly personality suggests she might do well with other cats or cat-friendly dogs. Rosie is currently hanging out in an Atlanta Humane foster home so you can visit atlantahumane.org/cats to learn more about her and set up a time to meet her!

Moss weighs 51 lbs., is approximately 3 years old (est. birth date 03/25/2021), and his adoption fee is $305.

Tanuki is the Atlanta Humane Societypet of the week.

Tanuki is a charming 1-year-old with a personality that strikes the perfect balance between energetic and laid-back. Initially, she may seem a bit shy, but give her a few days, and she'll reveal her affectionate side. While Tanuki hasn't spent time around other pets, she's a true people-cat and thrives on human companionship.
Whether it's cozying up for pets, lounging nearby, or basking on a screened
porch, she knows how to make the most of any relaxing moment. This playful
kitty has a special love for feather toys and adores being brushed. She's quick
to answer when called and has a unique "meow language" to communicate
her needs, though some interpretation might be needed! Tanuki is currently
hanging out in a foster home while she awaits her perfect match so you can
visit atlantahumane.org/cats to learn more about her.
