It’s Adopt-a-Senior-Pet Month, the purrfect time to celebrate the grace, wisdom, and quiet joy that our older feline friends bring into our lives. 💕
While we don’t currently have any cats over 11 years old—the usual senior cat threshold—this month still holds special meaning for us. We’d love to shine a little spotlight on some of our more seasoned residents—cats who may not have kitten energy anymore, but who have hearts full of love and stories waiting to continue in a forever home.
Here are a few of the wise, wonderful kitties waiting for homes to call their own:
🐾 Snowball: At eight-and-a-half years young, Snowball is our most senior resident and a true gentleman. With his snowy coat and love for people (including kids!), he’s happiest soaking up affection and attention. He’d do best as the only male cat in the home.
🐾 Billy: Our resident chatterbox! Billy has plenty to say and an endlessly charming way of saying it. His unique folded ears, from old hematomas, just add to his one-of-a-kind charm. After his family moved away, Billy’s been patiently waiting for a new home where he can share his sweet, talkative nature.
🐾 Marie: A survivor with a tender heart. Marie was rescued from a home with nearly 100 other cats, and she’s slowly learning what safety and love feel like. After an extensive dental surgery today at Verona Veterinary Medical Service, S.C., she’ll be feeling much better. She’ll need a patient adopter who understands that trust takes time and believes that love is worth the wait.
🐾 Bubbles: The newest member of our Forget-Me-Nots, Bubbles ended up at a shelter after going through a Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) program and has made incredible progress in her foster home in the last six months. She’s proof that second chances are powerful things. If you believe in giving love to those who need it most, she’d love to meet you by appointment.
🐾 Sammy: Currently holding court at Stoughton Veterinary Service, Sammy takes his temporary digs in stride—even with dozens of dogs parading by each day! Easygoing and affectionate, he’s the kind of cat who makes every space a little brighter.
🐾 Tessa: Like Marie, Tessa was rescued from that same large-scale hoarding situation. She’s shy and cautious but has shown glimpses of the sweetheart she’s meant to be. With time, patience, and understanding, Tessa will surely blossom into a loyal, loving companion.
Entering a shelter at an older age can be uniquely stressful. Age isn’t a limitation: it’s a gift. It brings wisdom, comfort, companionship, and the kind of love that only grows stronger with time. If your heart is ready for a calm, grateful companion, visit our website to apply for adoption and give one of these beautiful souls the second chance they deserve.
