I tried to talk my wife and girls into adopting older dogs/cats because they're often super nice and just need someone to love on them in their golden years. Makes me sad seeing older pets at the pound. The hardest thing about adopting older pets from shelters is how many other, equally deserving older pets you have to leave behind because you can't actually take home 14 senior cats at once. Heck, my sister just adopted a cat and had it down to choosing between a 16-year-old and a 3-year-old, and when she ended up picking the 3-year-old because she just wasn't able to handle the medical needs of the senior (which is fair. Old cats are expensive), I had to consciously tell myself that adopting the 16-year-old myself when I already had two senior cats was a bad idea. Fortunately, the shelter subsequently shared an update that Sir Winston (which is a fantastic name) got adopted, so he did end up with a home. --- This is my signature.
