So, my partner and I decided to skip the kitten chaos and go straight for the senior citizen section at the shelter. Enter: Doug. He’s 13, has more attitude than most people I know, and his hobbies include napping, glaring, and ignoring expensive toys. Adopting an older pet isn’t exactly the Instagram dream—no tiny paws or zoomies. But Doug’s slow blinks and raspy purrs hit different. He’s seen things. He’s over the drama. And honestly, we kind of love that. It’s wild how quickly a grumpy old cat can become the center of your universe. If you’re thinking about adopting, don’t sleep on the seniors. They might just surprise you (and take over your favorite chair). Welcome home, Doug. You’re weird, you’re wise, and you’re officially family. #AdoptDontShop #SeniorCat #PetRescue #Pets #Cats
