Golden Oldies

At the Wrexham Adoption Centre, we have lots of cats waiting to go to a new home, but unfortunately, some cats are overlooked.  These are mostly our 'Golden Oldies' and have been here for quite some time.
They are quite happy to stay in their beds, fast asleep, rather than sell themselves when the public arrive.  There are many benefits of having an elderly cat.  These are just a few of them:

  • Elderly cats are more home loving.  They prefer to curl up in a comfy spot, instead of spending time outside.
  • They are more independant, so do not need as much enrichment as a younger cat would.
  • Older cats personalities have already developed, so what you see is what you get!

Peggy is just one of our Golden Oldies in the centre at the moment. She is 18+ and has so much love to give.
