Their owner is battling cancer and is heartbroken to ask for help, but he needs to find them a safe place to land. These two have been loved their whole lives and deserve to live out their golden years with the same care.

We've reached out to rescues, but senior cats are tough to place. That's why we're turning to this community.

Could you adopt these two senior sweethearts?
Do you know a rescue that is currently accepting older cats?

Please share this post and tag anyone who might be able to help.
Every share could be the one that finds them their family.
