Adopting an older cat... the possibilities (and benefits!) are endless!

Many people who are thinking of taking on the responsibility of a new pet often think about adorable, playful kittens as their first choice. However, there is a whole other realm of possibility... the adult cat! Kittens don't stay kittens forever. So you're absolutely CERTAIN you HAVE to have a little itty bitty kitty? Know what? They only stay that way for a couple of months... and then what do you have? An adult cat!

Welcoming an older cat into your family has a wealth of benefits. Of course this generalizes toward adopting a cat that has been treated well for the majority of it's life and has not suffered abuse, medical problems or emotional trauma. Cats who have undergone these situations usually require more specialized (and patient!) care. Which is why they may need you! There are also many others who have NOT had a traumatic life and just need a new home. We hope you will consider some of these wonderful "already grown up" felines for your next new companion(s)!
