To recap reasons for adopting an older cat:
- Older cats are usually litter box trained
- Adult cats are usually neutered and have had their shots
- A young adult cat is a good choice for homes with small children
- A young adult cat is perfect for a working couple or single
- A senior cat is an excellent choice for a senior human
- An older declawed cat will be a good choice for someone who needs a declawed cat for medical reasons
- An older cat is a natural choice for a senior cat who has lost a companion
- Older cats are ever-so-grateful for a second chance at a loving home!
As Sharon Dubois said when talking about rescue and adoption, "In the long run, we humans are the beneficiaries."
Amen to that!
