Elderly shelter cat had weeks to live. So this woman adopted him.

I'm thankful, every day, that loving people like this lady are still among us.

He was able to be loved until his sunset. How wonderful for him and for Jess to give him that gift.

My adult son rescued a cat from a shelter who only had a few more months to live. Tom said the cat's last months didn't belong in a shelter and adopted him. He took the cat to the vet and got medical treatments. That was several years ago, and this cat is now healthy and ruling Tom's home, heart and the world. Hehe - it also chases dogs.

There’s something beautiful about adopting an older pet. They appreciate things so much. Thank u for loving this boy ❤

I adopted a senior cat named Garth who was brought in at Christmas, to the SPCA in really rough shape. He'd had emergency surgery to remove his eye. I adopted him because he was senior at 10+ years maybe a little broken to look at and most people would pass him by and not adopt him so I did. He was such a chill cat and I thought he'd be a great emotional support cat for my high strung hot mess doggo who'd been abused in his last home. He was a perfect fit, they got a long great. I'd catch them snuggling and cleaning each other. When I took Garth to MY vet I was shocked to learn he had kidney failure. Not sure how this was missed with SPCA vet but it was what it was. His kidney failure was so advanced they gave him a year. 9 months is what we got. Both the doggo and I miss him... he had such great cat MOJO. When I brought him home from SPCA he spent an hour acclimating before he knocked down the baby gate separating him and the puppers and just swaggered in like He'd had always been there. I don't regret adopting him. I don't regret the money I spent on him medically. My only regret is I couldn't give him more time living his best life. Senior animals with health issues or missing parts are often overlooked. Don't dismiss them, adopt them. They might just be the best thing you've ever done not just for their life... but for yours. ❤🐈❤🐕❤👩‍🦳

No animal should be in a shelter at 17. Jessica, thank you for making his last months being loved and cared for.

You gave him 5 months of love and care, He knew he was loved, i could tell by his expression,thank you for loving him 🙏😺

This beautiful animal got to spend the last few months of his life in a dignified and loving manner. He passed surrounded by affection and care. It is a wonderful story. Thanks for making this old boy's last few months worth living.

Don't know if the woman that saved Mr. Whiskers will read this or not, but thank you for saving the guy & giving him a dignified & loving ending. At the end of the day, that is what he will remember when he goes to where cats go after their time on this earth is over. Bless you.

Well I didn't want to cry today... yet here I am. RIP Mr Whiskers. I'm glad an angel came along to give you a wonderful loving few more months back in a home.

As a pet owner myself I was overwhelmed with joy to know there are still some beautiful people in this world.....Mr. Whiskers may be gone but his soul will be a part of you forever....Thank-you.....

What a lovely person. Mr. Whiskers lived a lifetime in those five months. You even got him playmates. You are a gift!

People like this lady is why the society is still surviving despite all the terrible things happening. Thank you so much for saving Mr Whiskers and thank you for existing.

This woman gets it. We need to clone her a million times! On behalf of all pet lovers ; thank you

This woman is a saint! What she does for these cats is beyond compassion!

Thank you for giving him a happy last 5 months rather than passing away in a shelter. May your acts of kindness be returned to you a thousandfold. ❤

I was given an ill elderly orange cat by a shelter, took him to the vet, gave him medicine cleaned him and removed all his fleas, He had a color which said he was a female named "Trouble". When he became well, my vet said he was over 15 years old and a male Maine Coon Cat. He lived 10 years with me and was the most loving, smart cat. I still miss him. He passed away from kidney failure.

I've adopted 2 senior cats and they're the best. The lack of time you have with them is more than made up for by the sheer love and affection you get from them. Knowing you made their final years their best is so rewarding.

Wow, you’re an Angel. Your let your heart break in order to show cats they’re loved in their final days. That’s so beautiful and pure

Thank you for caring for him. I hope you read these lovely messages so you’ll know what your kindness also means to all of us.
