Penny’s Comeback: A Story of Hope for Senior Cats 🐱✨

Meet Penny, a 20-year-old Siamese mix who has always ruled her home with confidence. But over the past few years, her pet parents noticed changes—stiff legs, a wobbly walk, and no more couch-jumping or hallway sprints. It was heartbreaking to see their once-active girl struggle.

Determined to help, they started Penny on monthly Solensia injections. The difference? Incredible. After just one month, she began moving more easily. Now, after multiple treatments, she’s back to patrolling the patio, running down the hall, and leaping onto the couch like she used to.

If your senior kitty is slowing down, call us today to learn about options to improve their mobility and comfort!
