At first glance, it’s understandable why people and families often turn to shelters to adopt puppies and kittens. However, upon closer inspection, it’s impossible to ignore the tragedy of how easily humans overlook the value of a senior pet.
This is especially true for senior cats. Calm and patient in their old age, they often desire little more than snuggles, cuddles, and all the love you have to offer a pet who needs you.
Such was the case for one 15-year-old “scraggly” cat who found his way to the Voorhees Animal Orphanage, where the staff quickly noticed his persistent longing for affection.
A suitable name for a classy, older cat is most certainly Barnaby, and that is what the Voorhees Animal Orphanage named their aging cuddle companion. The entire staff found themselves smitten with the kitten, and their hearts melted around him.
