Adopt a Senior Pet-Meet Miss Kitty

November is Adopt a Senior Pet Month!

At animal shelters and rescue groups across the nation, there are an abundance of healthy senior pets looking for a special home to cherish them for the rest of their lives. Although shaping the life of a youngster sounds appealing, giving a second chance to an older companion can be equally rewarding. They like to share quiet moments, are already trained and usually do not chew or scratch everything in sight. "Older pets have plenty to offer adopters – not the least of which is love," comments Jacque Schultz, ASPCA Companion Animal Programs Advisor.

King Street Cats runs an Award-Winning campaign called

What About Me? ®

where we feature our harder to adopt kitties.

Many of those kitties are senior kitties

who lost their home later in life, through no fault of their own.

Miss Kitty is one of those special kitties that we would like to highlight.

Here is her story:

My name is Miss Kitty and I arrived here on 5-6-12 after my family gave me up because of allergies. I was born in February 2004. Although I'm an older kitty, I am in good health and really hoping that someone wants a kitty with a darling personality. I am a little uncertain around the other cats here so I have kept to myself. But I love people and have a beautiful outgoing personality with them. I am a loving girl who misses having a home. Will you adopt me?

Hannah Banana is one of those special kitties that we would like to highlight.

Here is her story:

My mane is Hannah and I'm a beautiful, sweet, "middle-aged" lady, who's part Manx with long black and brown hair. I am approximately 11 years old. I was born and raised in the beach resort town of Nags Head, North Carolina, known as the Outer Banks. My owner became ill and a friend took me in. My owner never got better and then my temporary home had to move. She tried to find me a safe shelter but was unable to. My owner's niece found out what shelter I was at and rushed there to save me before it was too late. I was then transferred here and I'm so happy. Even though I'm a mature cat, I still love to play, love to sit next to you on the couch to relax and watch TV, love for someone to pet/scratch my head and back while I purr and knead my paws, love to be near you and will follow you through the house, room-to-room all day, purring the entire time and most important... I love my canned food!!  I can be a little shy and nervous at first; who wouldn't after all I've been through?!? But in no time, I will trust and love you and want nothing more than your love in return. And maybe a quick petting and some can food!! I would love to find another loving family who will take me in and provide love and comfort for the years I have left to offer this world. Please come see me!

Dancing Cat is one of those special kitties that we would like to highlight.

Here is his story:

My name is Dancing Cat and I originally arrived here on 1-30-11 after being found wandering around as a stray. I'm a handsome white and dark orange boy who was born January 2005. I somehow became lost from my home and ended up outside. This nice lady found me and was feeding me. She realized that I was friendly and brought me inside, but her other 3 cats were not happy about my arrival. I am not aggressive with animals at all and was fine with the other cats and even a Pug. So she brought me here to find a new home. I'm a wonderful boy and would love to find a home to call my own. I am very affectionate and like to sleep next to people (I even liked to wrap myself around the neck of the lady who saved me). I love to play and romp around and I earned my name because I will dance around when you come home! If you scratch my forehead, I will give you a big smile. I would do best in a home where I can be the only pet. I will give you lots of joy once you take me home. I was adopted on 8-13-11 to a home where I get to be the only pet (I really loved that) but then was returned on 4-15-12 because my owner had one of her previous cats returned to her and neither of us were happy about it. So while I'm not particularly pleased about losing yet another home and being surrounded by even more cats, I'm really going to put on my best smile and hope that someone will come and adopt me soon. I would thrive in a home that has no other pets or young children. I love calm environments. I'm such a love and will smile each time I see you. Please come see me!

Lenore is one of those special kitties that we would like to highlight.

Here is her story:

My name is Lenore and I'm a tiny black/white girl who arrived here on 4-7-11 after my family gave me up. I'm 11 years old (born January 2001) and I have lived my entire life with my family. They gave me up because there were 3 other cats in the home (older than me) and none of us got along. Plus there were issues with allergies getting worse. So for 2 months I was confused and really unhappy about my situation. I spent my time in a cage because I was so upset and sad about losing my home. But then I went into foster care in June 2011 and I'm a completely different cat! I love having a home and now my sweet personality is coming out. When my foster mom lays on the couch, I like to lay on top of her. I don't necessarily enjoy being petted, but I do love to be around people and sitting with them. I am hoping that someone will want an older kitty. I'm healthy and have a lot of great years left. I would do best in a home where there are no other pets and where I can be a companion to someone who needs a friend. Is that you? If you're interested in meeting me, please contact King Street Cats!

PC is one of those special kitties that we would like to highlight.

Here is her story:

My name is PC (it stands for politically correct) and my family gave me up on 4-7-12. I'm 11 years old and had spent my entire life with them. They gave me up because they didn't like me scratching furniture. It's what cats do unless you get us scratching posts to use. I was named PC because for most of my life, my family didn't know whether I was a girl or a boy and wanted to be PC about it. For a couple of months, I was very upset over losing my home. The volunteers spend a lot of time with me to help me adjust and feel better. I'm not good around other cats so that is stressing me out. Although recently, I have ventured out of my cage (the door is always open for me to do that) and now I am completely out of the cage. After I arrived here it was discovered that I have a thyroid condition and needed medicine everyday. In June, I was given a radiation treatment on my thyroid and now I don't need medicine. I've really mellowed, accepted my circumstances and have started to show what a beautiful and loving heart I have. I have a lot of great years to give to someone. 

Will you consider giving me, a senior kitty, a home?
