COMPANION CATS FOR SENIORS
Many senior citizens would benefit from the company of a pet but avoid animal companionship because of the thought "what would happen to my pet if something happens to me" or the cost of pet ownership.
Our Companion Cats for Seniors program is designed to give older cats the opportunity to be placed in a loving home. It matches older cats (6+ years) with qualified senior citizens. Older cats don't ask for much -– just a warm place to sleep, good meals, and plenty of love!! Both senior and cat benefit from a loving companion.
There is no adoption fee!!
HEART pays for the cat’s annual vet visits, vaccines, and other medical needs.
For seniors who are unable to get out and about, HEART can help transport the cat to the vet.
Should the senior become unable to care for their pet it is returned to HEART. |
A Kitten May Live 15-20 Years.
That's a Very Long Time!!
What will happen to your pet if you are no longer able to care for it? Who will take care of your pet if you can’t? Older folks need to carefully consider if adopting a young cat is in the best interest of the animal. |
An Older Cat Would be a Great Choice
for a Senior Citizen that Needs a Buddy.

You'll be delighted with the companionship of an older cat. They have lots of love and affection to share!! For the abandoned, forgotten, and heartbroken older cat, you just might be their last chance to have the love and warmth of a home where they can live out their years in comfort. |
