Timmi was in sad shape when first rescued, with an infected eye, which had to be removed. Patched up, he was later adopted by his foster mom, and is now a charming cat living in a loving home. While looking for an older cat, consider one that is "disabled," if you can afford continued veterinary care.
To recap reasons for adopting an older cat:
* Older cats are usually litter box trained
* Adult cats are usually neutered and have had their shots
* A young adult cat is a good choice for homes with small children
* A young adult cat is perfect for a working couple or single
* A senior cat is an excellent choice for a senior human
* An older declare cat will be a good choice for someone who needs a declawed cat for medical reasons
* An older cat is a natural choice for a senior cat who has lost a companion
* Older cats are ever-so-grateful for a second chance at a loving home!
As Sharon Dubois said when talking about rescue and adoption, "In the long run, we humans are the beneficiaries."
