I adopted Molly in June, 2013 a few months after my first cat, Magic, went to the Rainbow Bridge. Molly was 10 then, and now she is 13. She loves to eat and sleep (but don't most cats LOL).

Adopting an older cat has been a very good experience, and I would do it again. It's hard to believe the parents of Molly's first owner (who was in college when I adopted her) were thinking about having Molly put to sleep as they had moved to a place that had a two pet limit, and they had already had 2 dogs. Luckily Molly found her way to a foster home, and then to my home. We've had a few ups and downs in the past three years, but I hope Molly is happy in my quiet home.

So consider an older pet if you are thinking about adopting a cat or dog!
