Cougar Town

Sure, we have the requisite young kittens, but down these halls there’s another group of cats – our Cougars. These guys and gals have been around a little longer, been waiting a little more patiently.  They've seen a little more life, experienced a few more sunrises and sunsets than our younger residents.

Day after day, they see their younger, bouncier counterparts make a love connection and head out the door to their new life.  We’d like to introduce you to a few of these on the prowl for love guys and gals, and ask that you take some time to get to know them. Each of these gorgeous cats has years left to love, and is over the brim with purrs and affection.

Take a look… You may just find the love you’ve been looking for all along.

Paws to Consider…an Adult Cat!

Top Ten Reasons to Adopt an Adult or Senior Cat

1. The purr-sonality of an adult cat is already known—making it easier to match you with the right cat!
2. Older cats are generally less demanding than kittens and need less supervision, great news if you work outside the home
3. Adult cats have fully developed immune systems and are less likely to develop kitty colds and flus
4. Adult cats are litter trained and calmer than kittens
5. If you already have an older cat, another adult cat of similar age and temperament, if carefully introduced, can be less stressful for him/her than a kitten
6. A senior cat is less likely to climb the curtains or knock over breakables!
7. Nowadays, indoor cats live regularly into their late teens so most seniors have plenty of years of love left to give
8. Adult cats do not require a lengthy vaccine series (up to four FVRCP vaccination for kittens under 6 months—which, along with the fee for an office visit at the vets can run upward of $400 the first year of the kitten’s life).
9. Mature cats languish for much longer in shelters, where they can become depressed or ill while watching their younger friends be adopted within mere days.
10. Every adult cat was once an adorable kitten who, through no fault of their own, ended up at a shelter—you will be their hero forever if you take them home!
