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.

Pet of the Week

Tootsie

How many licks does it take to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop? None—because she’ll willingly give you her love! Tootsie came all the way from Uvalde, Texas, after being owner-surrendered with her sister and four puppies. Now in foster care, she has left the single mom life behind, and she’s ready to live it up as an empty nester!

According to her foster mom, Tootsie is very sweet and truly just wants someone to follow around and cuddle up with! She can be reserved at first, but after giving her time to decompress and sniff around, she becomes a velcro dog.

Tootsie occasionally does this thing where she jumps into your palm when you go to pet her, and if you’re going to pet the side of her face, she puts her whole weight into it! It feels like she’s going to body slam herself (but she doesn’t), and it’s very cute and lovable. She also loves sunbathing or being able to sit outside in the shade. 🙂

This girl likes other gentle-natured pets that respect her boundaries and her need for space. She was attached to her foster mom at the hip within an hour of being at her head, and didn’t snap once. By going slow and allowing her to get used to new things on her terms (and lots of affection once she allows it), she’ll be nothing but a cuddly dog who feels secure with her new home and the people in it! Apply to meet Tootsie today!
