Mature Cats are Great Pets!
Stable Developed Personalities An animal’s personality can change a great deal on the road to adulthood and maturity. With a mature pet, you can see his or her fully-developed personality and find just the right fit for you.
Less Destructiveness Young animals are adorable, but they’re lots of work and require constant attention. They’re still kids after all! Mature cats have settled down and can enjoy some quiet time on their own. Mature cats often love to cuddle and enjoy lap time as well as play and entertain their human companions.
Fewer Housekeeping Issues All of our cats are litter box trained. All they need is a well maintained litter box.
Factors for Seniors to Consider Before Adopting a Cat
• Poor eyesight or balance can cause people to trip over pets. A brightly colored collar with a bell attached will increase awareness of a pet’s whereabouts.
• Cats require litter boxes that need regular cleaning. Since cats are good jumpers consider putting the litter box on an elevated table that won’t require you to bend or lift.
• Do you have transportation for trips to the vet? And the financial resources?
• Arthritic hands can make grooming difficult, but brushes and combs with extra large handles can help. A short haired kitty can reduce grooming needs as well.
• If your pet needs medication, keep it separate from your own. Use colored tape or stickers to identify pet prescriptions, making sure it’s on the bottle, not the cap (it’s easy to put the cap back on the wrong bottle).
