## Resource

Senior Cats are near and dear to Rita’s heart, having adopted several of these precious felines. Sometimes they cats end up in the shelter due to no talk of their own when their owners pass away or move to a care facility. Often overlooked at adoption time, senior cats still have a lot of love to give and can be the perfect companion for someone looking for a quiet kitty. Having known love all of their lives, it’s important to get these sweethearts into loving homes and give them a second chance at love. There are some things to consider when adopting one of these special angels, but nothing that should preclude them from getting adopted. Dr. Kelly Cairns is here to talk about the special needs of older cats, and how to prepare to care for a cat that might be getting up in age. You won’t be sorry opening your home, and your heart, to a senior cat who needs you.
