Adoption Advice

Rescue vs Private

If you are looking for a new cat please consider adopting from a rescue such as ours, rather than buying a cat or kitten privately or online. When you buy a cat in this way, you are only encouraging a growing number of people who allow their cats to have kittens as a way of making money. Some of these people have no care for the cats and the increasing numbers of cats that are homeless across the country are testing all rescues. Some of these cats will have behaviour or health problems and you will have no back up in case of problems.

Senior Cats

Senior cats come into rescue care for a wide variety of reasons – and the older the cat, the more likely it is to have some disruption in it’s life that means it has ended up at a rescue centre. Often a cat will have spent years happily living with an owner or family, then one day they are suddenly handed over to a rescue centre, for reasons that the cat will never understand. Please take a look at the following video for advice on adopting an older cat. 10 reasons to adopt a senior cat.

Our Top 10 Reasons to Adopt an Older Cat:

  1. The personality of an older cat is already known – making it easier to match you with the right cat!
  2. Older Cats are generally less demanding than youngsters, and need less supervision, so if you work outside the home, an adult cat is much better able to content itself while you are out than a youngster.
  3. Most older cats are seeking little more than a warm lap, regular food and love!
  4. Adult cats from a rescue will be neutered, litter trained, and calmer than a youngster.
  5. If you have an older cat already, another oldie, carefully introduced, can be less stressful for him/her than a kitten.
  6. The older cat is less likely to catch birds and mice than a youngster, or at least much less often.
  7. Cats regularly live into their late teens these days, so most seniors will have many years of life and love to give.
  8. A senior puss is unlikely to leap up on your shelves and knock your ornaments off, or to climb up your curtains!
  9. Mature Mogs are so grateful to have found a loving home again – they will repay your love ten-fold!
  10. And last but by no means least… Senior Kittizens Rock! (between naps)
