Top 10 Reasons why you should adopt a senior cat (from the PetFinder site):
When senior cats are adopted, they seem to understand that theyâve been rescued, and are all the more thankful for it.
A senior catâs personality has already developed, so youâll know if he or she is a good fit for your family.
You can teach an old cat new tricks: Senior cats have the attention span and impulse control that makes them easier to train than their youthful counterparts.
A senior cat may very well already know basic household etiquette (like not attacking your feet at night)!
In particular, senior cats are often already litter trained and are less likely to âforgetâ where the box is.
A senior cat wonât grow any larger, so youâll know exactly how much cat youâre getting.
Senior cats are often content to just relax in your company, unlike younger cats, who may get into mischief because theyâre bored.
Speaking of relaxing, senior cats make great napping buddies.
Senior cats often know that scratching posts (not furniture) are for scratching and toys (not hands or feet) are for biting.
Senior cats are some of the hardest to find homes for â so when you adopt a senior cat, youâre truly saving a life.
