  "Please don’t overlook the older cats when adopting"

  "He found his home with me 2 hours ago. He's an older cat who's owners fell ill & could no longer care for him. When the volunteer told me he's been there a long time & that they don't get many calls about him, I knew I had to give him his forever home. Please when you go to the shelters. Don't overlook the older cats. They need love & a life outside of a cage & a place they can feel at home, just as much as the next cat or kitten. Again,if you're adopting, please consider the older cats too."

  "I'm so excited! I get to pick him up on Tuesday. I've never owned a cat before but have been doing a ton of research. He's an f3 Savannah.

  I still have rugs and a Litter Robot coming in the mail. I also have a bunch of pads/hanging beds/etc coming that I plan to Velcro to the shelf so he can use it as a jungle gym. The water to the bathtub is shutoff. I removed all chemicals from the bathroom and have child locks ready to install. Is there anything else Im missing?"
