This story is about Gus, a 20-year-old cat surrendered to a shelter by his previous owner for unknown reasons. Despite his age, Gus was found to be healthy during the shelter’s examination.
Despite the odds against him due to his age, Gus found a forever home when a family searching for a pet to accompany their elderly mother specifically requested to adopt a senior cat.
The family informed the shelter that their 101-year-old mother, Penny, had recently lost her cat and desired another companion for her golden years. Despite concerns about Penny’s age, the family assured the shelter they would assist in caring for the cat.
It was a win-win for both Penny and Gus as Gus found a forever home and Penny gained a new companion. What a happy ending!
