Cats can live to be 15 years, 20 years, sometimes more.  At a no-kill shelter like Town Cats, we do not believe in ageism.  In fact, we think senior cats (8 years or older) make wonderful companions.  These mature pets come with stable and developed personalities.  With a mature pet, you can see his or her fully-developed personality and find just the right fit for you.  In addition, while young animals are adorable, they can be lots of work and require constant attention.  Mature cats are less destructive and often love to cuddle and enjoy lap time as well as play.

It is said that shelter animals know they're being given a second chance when they get adopted and are incredibly grateful, showing their gratitude with love and loyalty. We believe this is especially the case with mature cats who are looking for a loving human companion.  If you're looking for a great companion, consider adopting a kitty with a little silver in his or her fur.

Town Cats has also set up a Senior Cat fund to help us cover the costs associated with the growing population of seniors at our Shelter.If you aren't able to adopt one of these senior animals, please consider donating to the Senior Shelter Cat Residents Medical Care Fund. Some of these senior residents - if not adopted - will be with us the rest of their lives. As our residents age, they require special attention - physical exams, dentals, blood work and treatments for diabetes, hyperthyroidism, kidney disease etc. that is quite costly. To better care for our senior residents, we are seeking donations to cover the cost of their medical expenses.

Please consider sponsoring a senior resident by sending $25, $50 or $100 to Town Cats every month. You can even donate on line and choose a senior cat to sponsor and send donations on line via paypal (or of course, we will accept a check sent in the mail as well!). Please email us and let us know who you would like to sponsor and for how much, and how your sponsorship will arrive. Please note - you can sponsor a kitty in memory of a beloved pet, and/or you can choose to list your name or make it anonymous. Let us know what you'd prefer!
