3 Reasons to Adopt An Adult Cat

Adult cats often get overlooked in favor of kittens, but they have just as much love (and way less chaos) to offer.

Here are 3 reasons to adopt an adult cat:

1. What you see is what you get: No surprises. You’ll know exactly what kind of companion you’re bringing home.

2. They’re lower maintenance: Older cats are litter trained, less destructive, and less likely to climb your curtains at three A.M. They’ve moved past the high-energy kitten phase, so you get to enjoy their calmer, more settled side.

3. They adjust faster than you think: While kittens need lots of socialization and attention, adult cats often settle into their new homes quickly. Many have lived with people before, so they understand routines, household sounds, and how to be a great companion.

Many adult cats are in shelters through no fault of their own, like a change in family circumstances. They’re just waiting for a second chance. With a little time and care, they’ll form deep, lasting bonds with their new forever family.
