* I suspect that there will be different reactions to this story. let me be remove that I don’t advocate providing a feline as a birthday present. I likewise recognize that adopting animals to seniors, let alone a 103-year-old woman, in spite of overwhelming evidence that animals bring fantastic benefits to the elderly, can be a questionable topic. I believe that each circumstance needs to be dealt with individually, rather than with an across the board policy that hurts adoptable cats as well as the senior citizens that requirement the like of a feline good friend in their lives.

When my mom was in her late 70’s, she wished to get a cat. She went to numerous shelters as well as rescues. however they wouldn’t provide her any. I took her to a shelter in San Francisco, as well as we chosen out Dee Dee, who was 9 years old, too, as well as provided to the shelter “because she wasn’t good to the baby.” She was extremely loving, as well as a black cat, which we love, so I told the shelter I would be accountable for her if my mother passed away.. My mother passed away later (and we took Dee Dee to my house), however she got so much love, as well as Dee Dee got like in return. I believe shelters as well as rescues ought to hand out sample count on docs or wills, or have somebody indication a paper that they will take the kitty after the senior passes away. I just lost my Tortie, mom Kitty, to kidney failure. people had told me Torties were tempermental, however she was extremely loving to humans as well as my other cats.

I have went to as well as volunteered at numerous assisted living houses with local cats. My mother resided in one of them for over 10 years. It is a fantastic thing as well as if the cat’s person should leave them, the personnel will make sure the kittie is cared for up until she selects to embrace somebody else at the home. That’s been my experience.
