I doubt i will ever have another pet (health and physical issues), but if I ever adopt, it will be an older cat from a shelter.

Thinking of older cats at a shelter reminds me of a t'nuc (read it backwards) I worked with. She and her husband had a gorgeous ivory colored cat. Sweet tempered and gentle.

After their daughter was born, all was fine until one night he came home and the wife was screeching to get the cat out. To a shelter. "HAVE IT KILLED!" Seems Mommy never taught kidlet how to NOT taunt and hurt the cat, so the cat would now suffer. The husband said he'll leave it at the shelter. No. She wanted it murdered. SHE fucked up and the cat suffered. I don't know if the shelter did put her down or put her in a cage. Husband may have lied to the wife. He had a good soul but had a harradin as a wife and may have been too scared to defy her.

She told me the story with a strong attitude of pride---Mama Bear protecting her cub. I couldn't verbalize what I felt, the disgust and hatred. Our friendship ended then.

They also come with a personality and records and lots of info that helps take good care of them. He was not gonna get a cat that day but this little man stole our hearts through a pane of glass

He's 13 ish :)

But less satisfying than the second season of Galavant.

I wholeheartedly agree.

Seriously. It was a betrayal of the highest order. Cancellation would have been preferable, even. -.-

That is so beautiful; you’ve changed his entire life, I am sure he adores you.

I just adopted a 1 ear senior cat that had been surrendered 3 times to the shelter. I am the luckiest guy alive to spend my senior years with another like me. I don't know why they got rid of him. He is a lovebug. A headbutting love bug

I live to hear stories about elderly animals getting a good home . Your BF is a good guy

That so wonderful. What age was the kitty?

If there was a heaven, there would be a special place in it for people who adopt elderly animals.

That's awesome. I adopted an older cat as well. Everyone wants the kittens but the older ones are the ones that really need to be saved.

i love that 🥺🖤

Who’s cuter? 🥵

a seasonal item 😩

I brought a kitty home from the grocery store once. 24 years later and he’s still good 😸

But the best thing you got in shopping bag

You both beautiful uwu

I know at least two cat trainers who call this animal cruelty. No hate, but please reconsider doing that.
