Mews as well as Nips: senior feline Adoptions are a Win-Win for Cats as well as senior citizens
A couple of weeks ago, we featured a tortie who lives with her 103-year-old human in an assisted living facility. Today’s story of 20-year-old Daisy, who was embraced by 94-year-old Jan, a citizen at Covington senior Living in Orem, UT, is similarly heartwarming. Jan had always thought about cats family, as well as missed them when she transferred to an assisted living facility. Covington senior Living not only authorized the adoption, they even stated they’d make it simple for Jan, who has mobility issues, by feeding the feline as well as cleaning the litter box everyday for a little monthly fee. now that’s a design that must be duplicated at every assisted living facility in the world! checked out a lot more about Daisy as well as Jan on finest Friend’s blog.

I am all for senior cats being embraced to seniors. senior cats are so frequently overlooked by the normal adopter as well as stand a higher possibility of being euthanized .
For this facility who enables it, the cats would bring fantastic comfort to those who want to interact. In some facilities they have ‘resident’ cats who online on facilities as well as are cared for by residents or staff.
I am only in my 50s however have plans in location both for my personal cats must they outlive me as well as likewise for a feral colony to be maintained ( they occur to be senior citizens as well for the most part) It is in both my will as well as my hubbies will as well as a number of people are conscious of our wishes.

This is a subject that I have been providing a great deal of believed to of late. I am working on (planning stages) a design non-profit that serves as the facilitator that would link senior citizens to embrace a senior cat. We would work carefully with regional feline shelters to supply the cats. As the facilitator, we would screen prospective adopters, set up their houses with all of the needed amenities connected with taking care of their kitty, supply the services of a checking out assistant to assist with feeding (if necessary) as well as cleaning the litter box. The frequency of the gos to is tbd, however I’m believing a 15 minute go to every other day. a lot of importantly, the organization would supply for any type of veterinary care, in addition to taking temporary, or long-term care of the kitty in the event that the owner is no longer able to care for it. I would hope that the supplying shelter may be ready to take the feline back when this circumstance arises, presuming that no other household members are thinking about adopting their parent’s kitty.
I’m 70 years old myself as well as I understand this all seems somewhat optimistic, however please don’t be crucial of me. I’m seeking to you all for your concepts as well as ideally your support. I don’t have the monetary side of this plan as yet, so if 501c animal associated funding, grants, etc. is something that you understand a bit about, please tell us about it.
I’ve been running a successful service for 30 years, however this is what I want to do when I lastly retire.
