In Monday’s post about how cats enrich the lives of older adults, we referred to the adoption of a 19-year-old cat by a 101-year-old woman. I applaud the Catawba County Humane society to make this adoption possible. Talk about a match made in heaven! In my opinion, far as well numerous rescue groups and shelters won’t adopt to senior citizens, and while I comprehend that the issue of what occurs to the cat if the person becomes ill or dies is valid, I see no reason not to adopt to a senior citizen as long as they have a plan for continued care in place. see My modern satisfied for much more about cent and Gus.
If you missed any of the stories featured on the mindful cat this week, here’s a recap: on Monday, we shared information about a study of how cats can benefit the elderly, on Tuesday, we featured a stunning blanket and cat mat combo, on Wednesday, I told you about Allegra’s see to the dentist, and on Friday we celebrated Sleepypod’s 15th anniversary. and don’t forget to enter our giveaway to win a Sleepypod Atom carrier!

What a terrific story. I question if this is the Catawba Cty in NC. Not as well far from me, a few counties over. I agree with you abt the limitations of enabling senior citizens to adopt. numerous rescues have extremely strict policies which I believe hurts them in the end.

This is a wonderful story. They are a good match. I’m like Penny, a stuffed cat just wouldn’t work. I believe in some cases a stuffed cat can help, like yesterday when I was checking out one of my sisters. She has fought cancer for the last 4 years and finally made the decision to stop treatments. She was providing me some things yesterday and one was a Beanie baby cat that I had given to her at one time. but she kept holding it and squeezing it. I told her keep it because it was practically like a tension ball and she might want it in the end. She does have several cats in her house to keep her company and I hope they will be there to comfort her as well in the end. Being away from her house, she stated she did miss them.

Thank you! She’s certainly a strong lady to have gone with all she has and to make the decision she did. She likes cats as much as I do and I am pleased she will be surrounded with them too.
