    Photograph - Lorenzo The Cat @LorenzoTheCat ... Feel Good Photo of the Day---this woman adopted this 20-year-old cat from a shelter because she didn't want him to spend the end of his life alone in a cage. 4:19 PM · Apr 11, 2021 - Twitter Web App 4,109 Retweets 593 Quote Tweets 44.3K Likes

    Seriously, I'm not sure that I could do this amazing thing myself, as much as I love cats. I've had my cat since she was a baby, and the thought of losing her is devastating. What this woman did is heroic in our eyes, and we are so, so grateful that she's going to give this gorgeous cat the life that he deserves, no matter how long that life will be.

    Cat - PurpleRainey @RacerRuby ... Replying to @LorenzoTheCat This little man's person died and thru 6 degrees of separation I adopted him at 20 years old. We had 19 months and 23 days together.

    This one is mildly heartbreaking, and yet, we cannot help but be so happy reading this. Every moment of those 19 months and 23 days was precious for this cat, and the fact that you made sure he had love and warmth probably meant so, so much to him. And it means so, so much to us.

    Cat - SKY -Andie- EARIH @andiefields2001 INGF Replying to @LorenzoTheCat My sweet Girl Misty I adopted her at the age of 15 now she's 19 and still kicking. Please adopt super senior cats. A lot of the time these babies get put down because they aren't popular. I got my girl right before the age cut off for euthanasia #superseniorcats
