Little Kit Kat (above) was just 4 weeks old when she was found by the mother of one of our volunteers.  Kit Kat weighed less than 2lbs, had an eye infection and was dehydrated.  Our volunteer took Kit Kat in and fostered her for 6 months.  As you can see from the picture below, Kit Kat is now a healthy, beautiful cat.  All of our volunteers take pride in what they do for Cats in Need.  Fostering is just one of many wonderful things our volunteers do for our organization.

Older Cats make wonderful companions and there are many benefits to adopting one instead of a kitten.  Kittens are cute and adorable, but they are no different than children.  They need supervision and they need to be protected.  An adult cat can pretty much take care of itself.  Also, an older cat has already developed its personality and you’ll know a lot sooner if the cat is a good match for you and your family.  Also consider your current lifestyle when choosing to adopt a cat.  If you are a busy professional or you travel a lot, a kitten might not be a wise choice.

Maui (above) was one of our adorable cats who had special needs.  She was very shy and would hide underneath her blanket.  Maui and her brother were adopted by a kind lady who can give both cats the love they need.

Older cats are fun too!  Quigley was 7 years old when he came to Cats in Need.  He was with us for a few weeks before he was adopted.
