Senior "unadoptable" cat gave up on life, until a new family took him in and showed him love, giving him a second chance at happiness and two itty bitty kitty siblings to play with: 'Ever since he moved in with us, his life came back'

Despite what people might say, cats are not solitary animals. They need love. Especially the senior ones. 

Senior cats in shelters are some of the cats who get adopted the least. Generally, when people walk into a shelter, looking to adopt, they are looking for a kitten, for a whole bunch of reasons. People pass up on the older cats. They look at them as past their prime. Maybe, in their hearts, they consider adopting these senior cats, full of sympathy and sorrow for them, but at the end of the day, the kittens win them over. 

It breaks our hearts to know how long senior cats sit in shelters, waiting desperately for someone to come and give them a second chance. In shelters, every cat who is over the age of one is considered "old" for adoption. And if it's hard to get them adopted then, then you can only imagine how much more difficult it is later on. 

Generally, people think that senior cats are just not ideal pets, but we know, as people who own senior cats and who try to write about every single story of a senior cat getting adopted when we come across it, that senior cats make amazing pets. Every time someone takes a chance on them, that chance pays off tenfold. 

Senior cats have lived full lives. They have stories to tell. They have experiences and personalities. But more than anything, they have so much appreciation for the little things in life. They will appreciate the love you give more than any kitten ever could, because they know what it is like to live without it. 

It might take a moment to win over a senior cat, and that is certainly true for the kutty in this video. Maybe their trust in humans has been a little depleted after everything that they have been through. But they want love, and once you break through that wall of theirs, once you show them that you are trustworthy, they will love you in a way that will shock you, in a way that maybe no pet before them ever has.
