20-Year-Old Cat sur.rendered to Shelter gets adopted by 101-Year-Old lady!

What a wonderful woman to help this sweet kitty.

Absolutely beautiful you both are, what a beautiful person you are, hope you have lots of happiness together… Much love!

So grateful to this kind woman for adopting sweet Gus!! May you both have a wonderful life!!

Once at the shelter, Gus was given a health screening that showed he was “Exceptional Healthy”— for a 20 year old cat! — But they knew that having to spend his golden years in a shelter environment was going to take a toll on the [wellbeing] of a cat his age.

What a wonderful family she has, so many families would help with this!

Shortly after Gus’s arrival, the shelter director received an unexpected call from a family looking for a pet who could be a companion for their aging mother. More specifically, they asked if there was a senior cat they could adopt.

The family explained that their 101-year-old mother, Penny, had recently lo.st her cat, and though they’d given her a stuffed cat to cuddle with instead, she simply wasn’t pleased with something that didn’t purr.

So much mutual love in the photo of the elderly lady and her senior cat.

Love is really shown here. Bless you grandma for your caring for this precious cat.

Staff were cautious because of the age of all parties, but the family said they were willing to care for the cat on behalf on their mother.
It was “A Match Made In Heaven” and the adoption was quickly finalized.
This duo was meant to be and Gus is already fitting right in at his new home. This sweet lady lived that long to find this baby and give her smothering love for the end of their lives. How selfless and beautiful they are.
