Meet Roscoe (P. Coltrain)! Some of you will get the name, and some of you won't—and that's okay. What everyone should understand is that this big, sweet boy is truly something special.

Roscoe may not be the most handsome cat in the shelter, but what he lacks in looks, he more than makes up for in personality. His heart is pure gold, and he absolutely loves people. In fact, Roscoe's favorite thing in the world is attention. He wants to be where you are, doing whatever you're doing, and soaking up all the love you can give.

If you're looking for a loyal companion who will happily spend his days by your side, Roscoe is ready to fill that role. Sometimes the most beautiful cats aren't the ones you see with your eyes—they're the ones you feel with your heart. ❤️

Come meet Roscoe (P. Coltrain) during our open shelter hours and see for yourself what an amazing boy he is.

Never visited our shelter? Then you're missing out on a truly special experience!

At Pets For Seniors, our cats enjoy a home-like environment designed to help them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Every room features "Cat TV" to keep our feline residents entertained and engaged throughout the day.

What really makes our shelter special, though, is our amazing team of volunteers. Every day from 1:00 p.m. until 6:00 or 7:00 p.m., dedicated volunteers spend quality time with our cats—playing, brushing, cuddling, and providing plenty of TLC.

The result? Happy, socialized cats who are ready to become wonderful companions.

Come see the difference for yourself during Open Shelter Hours:
🐾 Tuesdays: 1:00–3:00 p.m.
🐾 Saturdays: 1:00–4:00 p.m.

At Pets for Seniors, we believe that growing older should never mean being forgotten. Our mission is to match senior adults (age 60 and older) with senior cats (age 6 and older), creating loving companionships that benefit both people and pets.
Many of the cats who come into our care have lost the only homes they have ever known. Often, they are surrendered through no fault of their own when an owner passes away, moves into assisted living, or can no longer care for them. These cats face an uncertain future despite having years of love, companionship, and affection still to give.
We believe senior cats should not be discarded simply because they have grown older. Instead, they deserve the opportunity to spend their golden years in the comfort and security of a loving home. Likewise, many seniors are looking for a devoted companion whose calmer temperament and established personality make them an ideal match.
Pictured are just a few of our senior residents. Each has a unique story, but all are looking for the same thing—a loving home and a person to call their own.
Plan on visiting us during Open Shelter Hours on Tuesdays from 1:00–3:00 pm and Saturdays from 1:00–4:00 pm. You may just find your perfect match.

And suddenly it is June!! CALENDAR CAT pictures in post below. We have recently taken in many senior cats either due to their owners passing or moving into assisted living. Your donation will not only help our calendar cats but also the cost of having these seniors vetted. As always, THANK YOU.
