Everyone loves itty bitty kittens, we know it. There is something about that smallness, that tininess, that wholesomeness that just- melts people on the inside. Tiny kittens have that power over us, which is why everyone wants to adopt one. You walk into a shelter, and the kittens there use their superpowers to obtain those furever homes that they want. Meanwhile… the senior cats at the shelter just stay in the shelter. For years. Alone. Waiting for their humans to finally come strolling in. 

If you didn't know, senior cats are the least adopted at the shelters, and we think that's tragic and wrong, and it's something that we will not stand for. Senior cats make amazing pets. They have so much love to give, so much wisdom at their older ages, the wisdom to know that what they have with their humans is precious. People who have senior cats know this. They know that senior cats deserve love too. And that's what we are going to remind people of today as well.

  • It has been a while since we have seen a thread appreciating old kitties go viral like this, and we are so glad that it happened now. What a good way to start the new year. We hope it happens an endless amount of times in 2025.

  • All of these senior kitties are so sweet, it's almost too much. They may not be young and spry, but they have so, so much to offer to their families - so much love, so much care. Senior kitties are the best, and it's exactly threads like this that remind everyone of that fact.
