Seniors For Seniors Program

Seniors For Seniors Program

This program is designed to help place our senior or special needs cats in homes with senior citizens to provide loving companionship for both the pet and its new owner. Too often older cats are passed by for adoption just because they are too old yet they are wonderful loving animals! Please contact info@angelcathaven.org to find out which cats are currently available for this terrific program.
Benefits:
  • They are past the kitten stage and generally calmer and already trained
  • Studies have shown that pet ownership reduces stress, a measure of protection for both heart and mental health
  • This program offers you the ability to offer a senior pet a place to call “home” for the remainder of their days
  • A mature cat’s personality is already established, so you know what you are getting
  • Pets provide WONDERFUL unconditional love
Program Outline:
  • A senior cat is placed in your home as a permanent foster, therefore there is no adoption fee
  • A Kitty Buddy will be assigned to you and each cat. This volunteer will have daily contact with you for the first 2 weeks to help make the transition as smooth as possible. After that, the volunteer will have monthly contact to check on you and your cat.
  • You, as the “owner”, are responsible for providing daily food and litter (we will make suggestions on the best diet for the cat)
  • Angelcat Haven (ACH) will be responsible for all reasonable medical needs/care
  • In case you have a temporary health related issue, ACH will take back and foster the cat for up to 100 days until you are home and able to care for your cat again
  • In case of a permanent event that prevents you from caring for your cat please be assured that we will take back your cat and work to find it another loving home
Program Regulations:
  •  All cats are vetted yearly, spay/neutered and current with all vaccinations at no cost to you (and a copy will be provided to you).
  •  All cats placed must remain in-door cats only.
  •  Angelcat Haven will assess each placement/situation on a case by case basis and place the best cat at our discretion in your home. Special circumstances will betaken into consideration in the placement process (i.e. blood thinners).
  • You must be 65 yrs of age or older and have no other pets, and only one cat will be place in each home (except in special circumstances at our discretion).
