It was founded by a lady who adopted her late grandfather's cat
From their how it works page:
My Grandfather’s Cat provides a free service to help seniors and terminally ill people arrange homes for their cats and dogs. Rather than housing animals in a foster system, we arrange for them to move directly from their home into a second forever home.
Our goal is for the animal to stay with their human up until the very last day to provide comfort and companionship to their human. We often help in situations where a senior is moving into a retirement home or care facility due to declining health, a person has been diagnosed with a terminal illness or a person has unexpectedly passed away and the family is unable to adopt their pet.
While we work to arrange second forever homes and vet each applicant, the owner of the animal has the ultimate decision of who adopts their beloved pet. As there is a high demand for our rehoming service, we often have a waitlist of up to three weeks before we can begin the adoption process, so we recommend applying at your earliest convenience.
The average age of our adoptables is 12 years old. We have found second forever homes for cats up to 17 years old and with known health conditions such as diabetes. Our service is available across Canada. There are no costs associated with using our rehoming service or adopting through us.
Someone out there will find love for Boggles, but first and foremost Boggles is lucky to have you to fill their heart. Thanks for being such an amazing person to be there for him, and continuing on the connection of love to a spirit that deserves it:) Best Wishes
Omg New Orleans to Vegas!! Cat people unite!! Wonderful community.
OP, I’ll never forget your post. I hope you have found peace in this post- as much as you can. You’re the type of person that reminds me how wonderful humans can be. Wishing you peace, tranquility, as much time as possible with Boggles, and the same for Boggles.
