A Collection Of Awwdorable Senior Cats To Remind Everyone That Senior Cats Deserve Love Too (18 Images)

As much as people on the internet love cats - and oh, they do - we find that there are still many kinds of cats out there who do not get nearly as much love as we would like them to. All the way from magical black cats to adorable and precious chonky cats to sweet three-legged kitties or pawesome pirate cats, there should always be more cat love going around on the internet.

One cat group that never gets enough love in our opinions is: senior cats. Did you know that senior cats are rarely adopted? People think that they're not as good a pet as a kitten, that they would be less loving or less energetic or that they would live shorter lives. And although some of that might be true for some senior cats, that does not mean that they do not deserve forever homes and a whole lotta love. So, here you have it - this is us doing our part and you guys doing yours. Enjoy!

"Glad to find this sub! She's my little queen, every day she's with us is a bonus day, I never expected the runt of the litter I adopted in 2003 to be here this long! (I'm convinced she doesn't know she's mortal.)"
