Some Things Get Better With Age – Adopt A Senior!

Posted on by

Just as people are living longer than they did 50 years ago, so are cats. Most people are reluctant to adopt a senior cat due to the fear of them passing away too soon.

Did you know that well cared for indoor cats can live to the age of 20 years? Cats are considered seniors when they turn eight years old!  So why not consider adopting a senior kitty this March?  Senior cats are some of the hardest to find forever homes for, so when you adopt a senior cat you are truly saving a life.  For the month of March ALL of our senior kitties have a reduced adoption fee of $100 (vs. $175) in an effort to help them get adopted into their warm and loving forever homes. View their profiles now!

Adopt Sweet Holly!

Adopt Sweet Holly!

Reasons to adopt a senior cat:

- A senior cat’s personality has already developed, so you’ll know if he or she is a good fit for your family.

- A senior cat already knows basic household etiquette like litter box use and do’s/dont’s of playing.

- Senior cats are often content to just relax in your company, unlike younger cats that can get up to mischief.

- Senior cats make great napping buddies during the cold winter months.

- If you have a senior cat already, another cat of similar age can be less stressful for him/her than a young kitten (careful introduction of course).

- Senior cats are generally less demanding than younger cats so if you work long hours, they will be more forgiving of the time left alone.

- Again, senior cats are truly some of the hardest to find homes for, so when you adopt a senior cat, you’re truly saving a life!

Debunking the Black Cat Myth

Posted on by

A common question asked by our volunteers is “Why do black cats have such a hard time finding homes?“. Sadly black cats have long been considered bad luck, and have unfairly been linked to witchcraft and superstition for centuries, but anyone who has adopted or met a black cat will agree that this is not true!  For the month of February ALL of our black cats over the age of 8 months have a reduced adoption fee of $100 (vs. $175) in an effort to help them get adopted and debunk the classic negative black cat myths. View their profiles now!

Ella6Black Cats Are Often Unwanted: True.

Sadly black cats are the hardest cats (or kittens) to get adopted. In fact, they are only half as likely to find homes as more colourful cats. Certainly very unfair and unjustified, as they are beautiful on the inside and out! Help set the record straight and adopt Ella for some added sweetness this February! ADOPTED!!

audrey1Black Cats Bring Bad Luck: False.

In reality the color of a cat’s coat has nothing to do with bringing you good or bad luck. Did you know that in Japan and the British Isles black cats are thought to bring good luck? We know many adopters of black cats who would agree, and feel very lucky to have their feline friend! Adopt gorgeous Audrey for some extra luck this February… and always! ADOPTED!

nunuBlack Cats Are Evil: False.

There is nothing evil about playing or trying to sneak onto your lap for some cuddles. If you are lucky (and remember you will have extra luck with a black cat in your home) a black feline will greet you with a little nuzzle, purr, lick or meow to make you feel loved. Does that sound evil? We think not. Adopt Nunu for some added fun in the home!

moon1Black Cats Make Awesome Companions! True.

Black cats may get a bad rap, but really they are just as lovable as the next furry feline. Help us turn their luck around and adopt a new family member. Help break the black cat myth spell and adopt Moon this February… she has been waiting for years, she is purr-fect and she has been ADOPTED!!

Please share this cat feature with your friends and family and help our black cats find loving and deserving homes this February.
