Wholesome elderly woman who wanted the "oldest cat in the shelter" adopts a senior toothless feline to live retirement out together: 'Don't worry, I'll get you all wet food so you don't have to chew'

Did you know that senior cats get adopted the least in shelters? Even a one-year-old cat, in some places, is considered "too old" to adopt. People want their kittens, their fresh beginnings, and we get that. We really do. But senior cats make such amazing pets, and we feel like people don't acknowledge that very often. Senior cats understand, they appreciate, they know what they have and what they could have. Senior cats show so much affection. They tend to be so thankful. And we wish that people took a chance on them more often.

Like this woman did. In her elder years, this woman has decided to adopt a cat, and she went into the shelter with her heart set on an "old lady" because she, too, is an "old lady", and they are going to live retirement out together. And so not only did this elderly woman win and get what she wanted, the senior cat that she adopted got a second chance at life. She got a forever home. Finally.

Well… there is it. We have found exactly what we are going to look like when we get older. This is going to be us in the future, walking into shelters, looking for old ladies and gentlemen to adopt. We see it clearly now, and… yeah, we're so okay with it.

We wish these two lovely ladies many, many happy and healthy years together. And we also wish that they learn to use social media, so that they could post pictures of their time together so that we could swoon over it, because swoon over it we would.
