Cats’ Eye View

April, 16, 2010

Oh boy do we have something to write about this week!  Well of course, I mean I have something to write about this week! Ozzy has been prancing around all week acting like he is just the king of the castle…what else is new?  Anyways, on with the much more important stuff!

This week, and every week, the APL is all about adopting senior animals, especially if you’re a senior yourself!  Senior animals make fabulous companions!  People just don’t realize the gems they are passing up, and so we decided to share some of the top reasons why senior pets should be considered first!
Drum roll please...

• Less mess.  Senior dogs already know that the bathroom is outside and the house is for relaxing.  Senior cats know that the litter box is where they need to go.
• Someone else has already done all the work.  Seniors are the perfect choice for families who don’t want to start teaching manners from scratch because they have often already been trained and know the rules for inside living.  Consider your shoes and carpets much safer.
• They love to snuggle.  Senior pets have a lot of love to give; they will show you devotion and eternal gratitude.
• What you see is what you get.  Need a certain size or looking for a specific personality?  Pick a senior pet and there won’t be any surprises down the road.
• If you’re a senior yourself, age 60 or older, you’ll receive $50 off our already discounted senior adoption prices thanks to support from the Pets for the Elderly Foundation.

If you’re looking to add a dog to your family, we have a lot of great senior dogs available for adoption right now!  Stop by the APL to meet Sammie, Bolo, Spot, Cutie and Billie!

If you are looking for a feline friend, stop by the APL and check out these lovers:  Gumdrop, Ace, Kasey, Precious, Sadge, Cat, Shadow, Remy, Reka and Peta!

We really hope these super seniors—and all of the animals at the APL—find fantastic homes to call their own! 

Don’t forget if you ever want to see who is available for adoption; check the APL’s adoptable animal page for real-time updates of who is in our shelter!  Oh then make sure you come on down and meet with them!  We promise you will fall in love!

Until next time…

Love and purrs,
Kobe and Ozzy
