Neglectful owners dump sweet senior cat 'Xena' to make room for a baby, Xena gets brought in by rescue org that makes sure she'll never have to worry again

Hey there, friends and fellow cat lovers. We will never understand the mindset of people who adopt pets only to abandon them when they decide to expand their families. It simply doesn't make sense to us. Pets are a lifelong commitment—cats can live well over 20 years, and dogs aren't far behind. Bringing an animal into your home isn't just a temporary arrangement; it's a long-term investment in love, companionship, and responsibility. Frankly, we believe that if someone isn't willing to provide even the most basic level of care, they shouldn't be allowed to adopt a pet in the first place.

Sadly, poor Xena was a victim of exactly this kind of neglect. At 10 years old, this sweet senior cat was cast aside, left without the love and security she so desperately needed and deserved. Thankfully, a caring rescue organization stepped in to help. Upon arrival, Xena was found to be underweight and suffering from multiple infections, but she's now receiving the medical attention she needs—and, just as importantly, all the love she could ever want.
