    My adult son rescued a cat from a shelter who only had a few more months to live. Tom said the cat's last months didn't belong in a shelter and adopted him. He took the cat to the vet and got medical treatments. That was several years ago, and this cat is now healthy and ruling Tom's home, heart and the world. Hehe - it also chases dogs.

      Sometimes Vets are wrong about how much time a cat or dog has. I was told by a Specialist my dog had at the most six months to live. She lived for another 2 yrs, 5 months. She had medication and she had an excellent quality of life. My Vet explained that he thought that she did not want to leave me - I had rescued her from an abusive home.

      My Grandparents had a wonderful Christian marriage. They had raised 9 children, lived to see 21 grandchildren grow up. And had many great grandchildren.
      They had raised me to age 9 in a wonderful loving spiritual home.
      When I was 27, my grandma became very sick and was physically and I think the doctor felt she was ready to die. I flew to Indiana to say goodbye. So glad I did.
      But she lived 8 more years. I think she didn't want to leave my Grandpa. It gave him more time with her.

    I adopted a senior cat named Garth who was brought in at Christmas, to the SPCA in really rough shape. He'd had emergency surgery to remove his eye. I adopted him because he was senior at 10+ years maybe a little broken to look at and most people would pass him by and not adopt him so I did. He was such a chill cat and I thought he'd be a great emotional support cat for my high strung hot mess doggo who'd been abused in his last home. He was a perfect fit, they got a long great. I'd catch them snuggling and cleaning each other. When I took Garth to MY vet I was shocked to learn he had kidney failure. Not sure how this was missed with SPCA vet but it was what it was. His kidney failure was so advanced they gave him a year. 9 months is what we got. Both the doggo and I miss him... he had such great cat MOJO. When I brought him home from SPCA he spent an hour acclimating before he knocked down the baby gate separating him and the puppers and just swaggered in like He'd had always been there.
    I don't regret adopting him. I don't regret the money I spent on him medically. My only regret is I couldn't give him more time living his best life.
    Senior animals with health issues or missing parts are often overlooked. Don't dismiss them, adopt them. They might just be the best thing you've ever done not just for their life... but for yours.

      One day I hope to have a home of my own to welcome senior, health issues, and/or disabled cats. I currently live with my parents and 16 cats and one cat-loving dog. One cat is FeLV positive, one has digestive issues, two have chronic sinus infections, one has human anxiety issues (even though he was born and raised in our house), and two have asthma. Mom’s a retired nurse, so as much she complains about their experiments with gravity and the tensile toughness of furniture fabrics, I think she enjoys “nursing” them. All, but three of them, came in the house as feral kittens. Eleven of those kittens were sickly, while the asthmatic two lost their mom just as she was weaning them. She died protecting them from a feral pack of dogs. The only cat to come in as an adult was a feral kitten that survived two different packs of dogs attacking our feral cat colony. As she warmed up to mom (the food lady), mom noticed she had a respiratory infection. Mom took her to the vet only to find out she was pregnant. She had three kittens, but one only lived a couple days. Those two kittens have never known life outside the house. Their momma is the only adult cat we’ve rescued.

    I've said it before about other videos. Every one of your furbabies that you keep are yours forever. They go where we go, into a beautiful place with green grass, flowers of all colors, crystal clear water, shade from the trees, just beautiful. Saw one of my horses and one kitty there. I was told that every animal I keep and don't sell or give away are mine forever. If they are strayed, stolen, taken, they are still ours. I was told ALL my furbabies are there and young again. They are waiting for me when I go beyond the veil. They play, run, have fun and are taken good care of. When we pass, they are told and they come running to us and there are 💋 and ❤️ as they remember us. Never will we part, but be together forever and no more goodbyes. Just like FAMILIES CAN BE TOGETHER FOREVER, SO ARE THE FURBABIES WITH US FOREVER.I just saw 2 but they were full grown but young again. I have seen my mother, my sister, and my uncle.Your MR. WHISKERS will remember you. He belongs to you FOREVER. There are millions upon millions of animals that no one wanted and you can have many more.

    The world needs more people like this lady. I don't know if she will ever see this, but thank you so much for giving Mr. Whiskers a beautiful final chapter to his life's book. I adopted the oldest cat my local shelter had. She was a sickly 15 year old cat that had been owner surrendered. I named her Hope and she gave me four of the best years of my life. I'd like to think that Hope and Mr. Whiskers are sharing a sunbeam on the other side of the bridge. Peace to all who take the time to read my comment.

    I've had three very elderly cats now who lived to 19, 20, and 21. They become so sweet and loving in their old age. The great reward of taking good care of your cat is that you get to hang out with an elderly cat. They're special.

    • @CharlotteIssyvoo
      @CharlotteIssyvoo 9 місяців тому

      @@mischapiru9514 The most important thing to remember is that it's about much more than diet. Keeping your cats indoors is number one. That can include a catio and leashed walks, but never let them roam free. (Getting them spayed and neutered is absolutely vital, and reduces their desire to roam.) Their life expectancy if they're outdoor cats is only 2 - 5 years! The outside world is full of too many dangers: cars, predators, fights with other cats, illness, infection, etc. Next, always give them regular vet checkups and shots. Cats seldom tell you they're sick until it's too late. Once they're seniors, do pay for regular blood work during their checkups. If you can afford to do it while they're younger too, go for it. This will alert you to any health problems, many of which can be successfully treated or managed, but only if they're caught in time. So, yes, give them a good, healthy diet (I'm hearing that wet is best, no filler, etc), but follow these other tips and you're more likely to have happy old cats.

Ferris was the last, passing at 17, 2 yrs ago. I know have a senior Ginger, Penny, who is 10 and a rescue, Bella, who is now 5. She had to fend for herself, outdoors, after owners moved from condo and just left her outside! Manager left food for her outside. She was finally rescued with her 2nd litter of kittens after 2 yrs. I got her 2 yrs ago and now at 5 yrs she developed asthma. 😢. I give her inhaler twice a day. I love them both. 💕💕

When we adopted our two kittens, the rescue group said, "We wish we could find homes like yours for all of our cats." One of my cats (both five) has asthma. It acts up when we get forest fire smoke in the city, which happens pretty much every summer now.
