Bristol And Wales Cat Rescue

IN PRAISE OF OLDER CATS

Older cats are always harder to re-home especially during kitten season when they are completely overlooked in favour of the little cuties.

BUT older cats make wonderful pets:

They don't wreck the house!

They are more relaxed and love their cuddles - they make great lapcats.

They are much less demanding and are happy to be left on their own.

They don't go far and many are content to be indoor cats - a bonus for people living in flats or on busy roads.

Older cats make great companions for older people but  many senior citizens believe they cannot own a cat because they don't have transport or they are less able than younger people.

RUBBISH!! Older people make wonderful owners , they have more time and often more patience!

We provide a full support service - trips to the vets, help with medication etc and we are always at the end of the phone.

The benefits of cat ownership have been scientifically proven:

Cat owners are more active and more sociable, they have better physical health, recovering from heart attacks more easily and making less trips to their GP.

They have better mental health, they are happier with another little soul to look after - it gives them a focus and a reason to get up in the morning.

Loneliness is a terrible thing and a little furry friend improves their whole quality of life, increasing social interactions and providing companionship.

Have you an elderly friend or relative who would love some company?
