When most people consider adopting a cat, they go to a shelter and look for a kitten or young cat. Unfortunately, many senior cats need a good home and make perfectly fine companions, yet they’re often overlooked.

That’s why a couple has gone viral for adopting a 17-year old cat. The couple decided to give this cat a good home and to emphasize her age, they decided to name her Gramma Kitty. Best of all, older cats are often less troublesome than younger cats so elderly cats can make fine companions for people who don’t want the hassle of a livelier cat tearing up their home.
