If you believe that it is more difficult for older shelter dogs to find new places to live, we are sorry to inform you that you are incorrect. Despite the fact that individuals often favor charming little pals, there are always situations in which they are forced to make remarkable selections.

When this family visited a pet shelter, they made the decision to adopt the oldest cat, Gus, who was 19 years old at the time. However, the cat was really adopted by Mrs. Penny, the family’s eldest member, who celebrated her 101st birthday earlier this year.

Gus’s story began a month before he was placed for adoption. During that time period, he was brought to the Humane Society of Catawba County for the first time since his prior owner could no longer afford to care for him. When Gus first arrived at the shelter, he was greeted with open arms by the whole staff.

People were afraid that he might be without a home for an extended period of time due to his predicament. To their amazement, he was removed from the adoption pool just a few weeks after he was made available for adoption. As a result, Lady Penny’s new mother had to part with her favorite cat, and she was on the lookout for a new one. This meeting between the two seemed to be a preordained event.

During that period, Gus was an excellent fit for Penny’s needs in every way. He and the lovely cat hit it up right away, and it didn’t take long for the cat to adjust to his new surroundings. Gus is now content in his new home with his permanent family, which includes his new mother and his new father. Watching squirrels and being close to Penny are two of his favorite things to do.

Older cats sometimes have a more difficult time finding new homes, but Gus, a senior kitten, was fortunate enough to find a new partner quite quickly. We are thrilled for Gus and Penny!
