When we saw Jane on our local humane society’s Facebook page, we knew right away that we wanted her. She had been taken to the shelter after her 98-year-old owner passed away. Jane was 16 years old at the time.

We drove 30 minutes through a snowstorm so she wouldn’t have to spend one more day in a cage.

Jane had never been around other cats her entire life, but she has adjusted very well to our two other kitties. We love her so much. She is now 17 and a half years old and doing pretty well for her age. She does need daily thyroid medication, but all of her other organs have tested great. I don’t think she looks her age either.

I am so happy that we could give Jane a home. She sleeps on my chest every night and purrs for hours. I only wish I could see pictures of her as a kitten.

I would love to encourage others to adopt senior cats. They are wonderful and truly deserve a loving home.
