Cats for the Golden Years

Have you ever considered adopting a senior pet? June is Adopt-A-Cat-Month, but many still forget about the older pets that have given a lifetime of loyalty and love to their owners and, sadly, have still ended up stranded at the Peninsula SPCA for reasons like their owners moving, falling on hard times, or the arrival of new pets or children. These pets don't deserve to spend the rest of their years at a shelter but many of these animals never get adopted just because of their age.

An older cat is a ready-made pet that just needs a home. There is normally no behavioral training or litterbox training, just a perfectly well-mannered cat ready to blend in with your lifestyle. Dottie Pepper is one of these older cats.



Dottie Pepper is an 11 year old Domestic Shorthair with beautiful green eyes. Her owners had to move and were not able to bring her along, so Dottie Pepper ended up at the Peninsula SPCA. She's a beautiful cat with many more years left in her if only the right family would come take her home. She's very calm and loves to have her owner pet her. She'll happily wait all day for you to come home and then will plant herself at your feet or next to your chair just to be near you. She would also make a wonderful companion for an older family looking to share their lives with a cat in need.

Ipso is another older cat available at the Peninsula SPCA for adoption. He's a 10 year old Domestic Shorthair with a glossy black coat. As laid back as you could ask for, Ipso is the perfect ready-made pet for any family.



Please consider giving a senior cat a home this month and any month. They've shown their loyalty and their love for their owners in the past-please give them a chance to give you their best in their golden years!
