Before kitten season kicks off — otherwise known as feline breeding season and when the population of kittens in need spikes in animal shelters across the country — we want to take a minute to show some of our senior kitties the attention and adoration the deserve! Older cats may have a few years on their younger counterparts, but just like a fine wine, pets only get better with age. They just need someone like you to give them a second chance. Not only would you be providing these special cats with a loving home, but you will also be opening shelter space for other animals in need!

At the Adoption Center in New York City, these feline companions are looking for loving homes. If you’re thinking about adopting a furry friend, consider one of these super seniors!

Bleu

Beautiful Bleu can’t wait to find a family of her very own! This gentle soul is looking for patient adopters who will give her the time and space she needs to settle into a new home. And with the help of tasty treats, she warms up to new friends quickly! Once she gets to know someone, she becomes a truly loyal companion who adores gentle pets. She has even shown some interest in meeting other cat friends! Visit Bleu’s profile to learn more about adopting this darling senior lady.

Minnie

There’s no kitty like Miss Minnie! Don’t let her perfected “blue steel” look fool you, she’s a social girl who loves to gently headbutt her friends to show her affection. She is all about getting pets, and she’ll rub herself against you to ask for more. She may surprise you with how much she likes to play, too! When a wand toy comes out, she’ll bounce along right after it. Minnie is also quite easygoing and will laze around the house during the day, keeping an eye on the neighborhood from a windowsill. If you’re looking for a loving and low-maintenance feline friend, check out Minnie’s profile and apply to adopt her!
