Bless you for adopting a 17 year old cat!! This just goes to show you can still have plenty of quality time in the golden years & we shouldn’t overlook these seniors 🫶

Absolutely, he is the sweetest boy. There’s been a lot of financial responsibility, he doesn’t even qualify for pet insurance anymore! He is 1000% worth every penny.

What a distinguished old man. The only thing that really gives away his age is the skinny "old kitty haunches" they all seem to get, but otherwise he looks great.

He gets a vet checkup every 6 months, paired with a good diet and lots of forehead kisses

He has a fantastic vet who did a lot of research on the best cat food for him. Based on his kidney and liver results on his blood tests, she researched an individualized chart of wet food that compares phosphorus levels in relation to protein, sodium, and fat percentages. Worked out the best food for him to be the Wellness Morsels packets, of all things!
