My adult son rescued a cat from a shelter who only had a few more months to live. Tom said the cat's last months didn't belong in a shelter and adopted him. He took the cat to the vet and got medical treatments. That was several years ago, and this cat is now healthy and ruling Tom's home, heart and the world. Hehe - it also chases dogs.

Sometimes Vets are wrong about how much time a cat or dog has. I was told by a Specialist my dog had at the most six months to live. She lived for another 2 yrs, 5 months. She had medication and she had an excellent quality of life. My Vet explained that he thought that she did not want to leave me - I had rescued her from an abusive home.

I adopted a senior cat named Garth who was brought in at Christmas, to the SPCA in really rough shape. He'd had emergency surgery to remove his eye. I adopted him because he was senior at 10+ years maybe a little broken to look at and most people would pass him by and not adopt him so I did. He was such a chill cat and I thought he'd be a great emotional support cat for my high strung hot mess doggo who'd been abused in his last home. He was a perfect fit, they got a long great. I'd catch them snuggling and cleaning each other. When I took Garth to MY vet I was shocked to learn he had kidney failure. Not sure how this was missed with SPCA vet but it was what it was. His kidney failure was so advanced they gave him a year. 9 months is what we got. Both the doggo and I miss him... he had such great cat MOJO. When I brought him home from SPCA he spent an hour acclimating before he knocked down the baby gate separating him and the puppers and just swaggered in like He'd had always been there. I don't regret adopting him. I don't regret the money I spent on him medically. My only regret is I couldn't give him more time living his best life. Senior animals with health issues or missing parts are often overlooked. Don't dismiss them, adopt them. They might just be the best thing you've ever done not just for their life... but for yours. ❤🐈❤🐕❤👩‍🦳

[@adeleennis2255]

One day I hope to have a home of my own to welcome senior, health issues, and/or disabled cats. I currently live with my parents and 16 cats and one cat-loving dog. One cat is FeLV positive, one has digestive issues, two have chronic sinus infections, one has human anxiety issues (even though he was born and raised in our house), and two have asthma. Mom’s a retired nurse, so as much she complains about their experiments with gravity and the tensile toughness of furniture fabrics, I think she enjoys “nursing” them. All, but three of them, came in the house as feral kittens. Eleven of those kittens were sickly, while the asthmatic two lost their mom just as she was weaning them. She died protecting them from a feral pack of dogs. The only cat to come in as an adult was a feral kitten that survived two different packs of dogs attacking our feral cat colony. As she warmed up to mom (the food lady), mom noticed she had a respiratory infection. Mom took her to the vet only to find out she was pregnant. She had three kittens, but one only lived a couple days. Those two kittens have never known life outside the house. Their momma is the only adult cat we’ve rescued.

I've said it before about other videos. Every one of your furbabies that you keep are yours forever. They go where we go, into a beautiful place with green grass, flowers of all colors, crystal clear water, shade from the trees, just beautiful. Saw one of my horses and one kitty there. I was told that every animal I keep and don't sell or give away are mine forever. If they are strayed, stolen, taken, they are still ours. I was told ALL my furbabies are there and young again. They are waiting for me when I go beyond the veil. They play, run, have fun and are taken good care of. When we pass, they are told and they come running to us and there are 💋 and ❤️ as they remember us. Never will we part, but be together forever and no more goodbyes. Just like FAMILIES CAN BE TOGETHER FOREVER, SO ARE THE FURBABIES WITH US FOREVER.I just saw 2 but they were full grown but young again. I have seen my mother, my sister, and my uncle.Your MR.

I've had three very elderly cats now who lived to 19, 20, and 21. They become so sweet and loving in their old age. The great reward of taking good care of your cat is that you get to hang out with an elderly cat. They're special.

[@mischapiru9514]

What was their diet? I have now two kittens and one ginger senior cat I want them to live the longest.

[@CharlotteIssyvoo]

@@mischapiru9514 The most important thing to remember is that it's about much more than diet. Keeping your cats indoors is number one. That can include a catio and leashed walks, but never let them roam free. (Getting them spayed and neutered is absolutely vital, and reduces their desire to roam.) Their life expectancy if they're outdoor cats is only 2 - 5 years! The outside world is full of too many dangers: cars, predators, fights with other cats, illness, infection, etc. Next, always give them regular vet checkups and shots. Cats seldom tell you they're sick until it's too late. Once they're seniors, do pay for regular blood work during their checkups. If you can afford to do it while they're younger too, go for it. This will alert you to any health problems, many of which can be successfully treated or managed, but only if they're caught in time. So, yes, give them a good, healthy diet (I'm hearing that wet is best, no filler, etc), but follow these other tips and you're more likely to have happy old cats.

[@gerbs747]

I had 3 cats since they were kittens, all about 2 years apart. They lived till 21, 17 and 16. My vet said I had the fountain of youth at my house, lol. Ferris was the last, passing at 17, 2 yrs ago. I know have a senior Ginger, Penny, who is 10 and a rescue, Bella, who is now 5. She had to fend for herself, outdoors, after owners moved from condo and just left her outside! Manager left food for her outside. She was finally rescued with her 2nd litter of kittens after 2 yrs. I got her 2 yrs ago and now at 5 yrs she developed asthma. 😢. I give her inhaler twice a day. I love them both. 💕💕

[@CharlotteIssyvoo]

@@gerbs747 Living like that is really hard on a cat (or on any being). I'm glad you've given her a home.

It acts up when we get forest fire smoke in the city, which happens pretty much every summer now.

i work in a large animal shelter & any type of domestic set up or home is better than shelter life. Shelter life is absolutely abysmal. Very stressful, limited affection, long periods without human contact. We do our best but we are always understaffed & have approx 2,500 dogs & 3,000 cats & kittens. It;s simply a terrible existence. It takes a certain type of person to keep turning up day after day & picking up poop everyday. Please keep this in mind if you come to any shelter & please consider the older animals.

People leave their children all the time, it isn't unusual at all. There are good people however who make up for the mess left by others

Sometimes escalating costs are a factor. People can no longer afford to feed more than one or two.

You made his last days really worth living. Full of love and companionship and warmth and beauty.

*As l understand it life is not a gift; it is a loan. It's just a matter of time before we are called back home.* We have what we have, while we have it and we should make the most of it. *This sweet lady gave Mr. WHISKERS so much joy in such a short time. It isn't about the joy we lose. It's about the joy we shared and the memories we get to keep.*

You’re a wonderful person and you gave this precious cat the love he DESERVED, and so needed.God bless you.

People like us, who adopt the elderly, are brave and strong. To love in the face of loss is an ability anyone can work to achieve. And this woman can teach us.

As sad as his situation was, it's nice to hear her empathy and lack of judgement, just focused on this lovely old ginger cat and saving other FIV/FeLV cats as companions. So sorry to hear that Mr. Whiskers passed away. Since he was only given weeks to live at the shelter, though, it's pleasing to know that he went on to enjoy his last five months of life in a happy, loving home.💕🐈🌈

Thank you for opening your heart and your home to this sweet cat in his final days. He got a life he deserved, if only for five months. He knew what it was to be loved. Rest in peace, Mr. Whiskers.
