Ten Reasons to Adopt an Older Cat

1. Older cats are harder to find homes for then kittens and are therefore vulnerable to premature euthanasia at government funded shelters.

2. For an older couple or person - adult or geriatric cats make better companions because they are more mellow, laid back and less likely to be causing chaos around the house.

3. Young children can be rough with kittens but an older cat, even a young adult cat will have better luck escaping the clutches of little humans as well being more likely to withstand the clutches if they are caught.

4. For a working family who are not home a lot, kittens left alone can and will cause mischief while you're away. Up on the curtains, clawing furniture and carpets and even dragging toilet paper throughout the house are only a few things kittens are known to do if left alone to entertain themselves. They are like children where everything that fits goes in their mouths. Older cats will simply sleep, lay in the sun and wait for you to come home.

5. Older cats are grateful for home, shelter and loving companionship. You may think this a silly point if you believe cats have no intelligence or thought processes. However I know this to be absolutely true from personal experience. I have seen cats literally blossom into truly happy beings after being with Ken and I for a few weeks and receiving love and attention they'd never experienced before. I will tell these stories in more detail later but for the purpose of this article, this may be the single most important reason why older cats are a delight to adopt.
