  1. Senior kitties are often calmer and more patient<\/a>! This can be a great addition for families with young children, seniors, and for families that have never had a pet before. Older kitties often require less energy and can be great companions! <\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n

    2) Older pets often have a history of living in homes, and may be house-trained when you adopt! This allows you to bypass having to train your kitty on how to use the litter box, as chances are, they will be familiar with it and will require less monitoring.  <\/p>\n\n\n

    3) You can get a better idea of a kitty\u2019s personality<\/a>, the older that they are! It can be difficult to judge the personality of a young kitten, as they are still maturing and developing. With older kitties, you\u2019ll be able to tell right away if their personality will be a match with your\u2019s! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    4) Senior shelter pets are grateful adoptees! Unfortunately, seniors are often overlooked at animal shelters, which leaves them at great risk. By adopting a senior kitty, you\u2019re saving a life and allowing them to enjoy their golden years in a loving home, while receiving the love of a sweet cat in return! Sounds like a win-win to us!<\/p>\n\n\n
