Elderly Maggie waits for someone to love her. |
When we get old and our fur becomes tatty, we need kind humans to help us. Especially if we are in a shelter waiting for a home.
We can't look beautiful when we have arthritis and our fur gets a bit rough, in those areas where we can't groom it.
We can't look graceful, if our aches and pains stop us jumping up high or being athletic.
We can't catch the adopters' eye if we are sleeping rather than playing. And we do sleep a lot.
We can give love. But only if a human recognises that we want to be a loving pet, rather than an old cat stuck for weeks and weeks in a pen waiting.
So please adopt the elderly.
I have adopted several older kitties over the years. I will again, but with 13 cats, we have a full house.
ReplyDeleteUp until Mudpie, and Truffles before her, all my adoptions were senior kitties!
