Story
From the internet:  'November is officially recognized as National Senior Pet Month (and Adopt a Senior Pet Month), dedicated to raising awareness about the unique needs, care, and adoption of aging cats and dogs. [1, 2, 3]   When Is a Cat Considered Senior? Senior Stage: Generally begins around 7 to 10 years of age. Geriatric Stage: Often classified starting around 11 to 15 years of age. Equivalent: A 10-to-11-year-old cat is roughly equivalent to a 65-year-old human. [1, 2, 3, 4]' Please ask about us!!!  We have lots of love to give!!!  Many people look for kittens and young adult cats.  Older cats are looking for love and companionship, too.  We have a few cats that are designated as senior. Sadly, as cats grow older, are no longer kittenish, have some medical issues, their person dies and no one will take them in, etc., some are kicked out and left to fend for themselves.  Forgotten Cats welcomes those that find their way into our feral cat traps, and we welcome back cats that had been adopted many years ago. All of the kitties have their own posts, so you can find out more info about them and see other pix.  Our other senior and older cats are Ernest/Ernie (~16), Diesel (~12), Mona (~10) and Sadie (~9).   Please submit our no-obligation adoption application for a meet and greet or to adopt:  https://forgottencats.org/adoption-application/.  Not ready to adopt?  Please consider fostering:  https://forgottencats.org/foster-a-cat/.  Thank you!  (Foster:  Trainer & Willow Grove clinic/shelters and Foster Families)November 1, 2026, 4:39 pm

Story
 CALLIE — Looking for Her Second Forever . Sweet Callie thought she had already found her forever. For the past three years, she had a home and a mom who loved her. Sadly, when her mom had to move into a nursing home, Callie was returned to Forgotten Cats, as were Tabitha and Amelia.  (Tabitha and Amelia have found a new family). Now this beautiful girl is trying to understand why everything familiar has suddenly changed. Despite all she has been through, Callie remains an incredibly sweet and loving kitty. She enjoys being petted, loves attention, and is happiest when someone takes the time to sit with her and remind her that she is loved. . After three years in a home, being back at Forgotten Cats is understandably confusing for Callie. What she needs most is someone who will give her the security and love she once knew—and show her that she can have a forever again. Callie has already lost her home once. Let's make sure the next one truly lasts forever. . Could you be Callie's second chance? Please submit our no-obligation Adoption Application for a meet and greet or to adopt:  https://forgottencats.org/adoption-application/.  Not ready to adopt?  Please consider fostering:  https://forgottencats.org/foster-a-cat/.   Thank you!  (Foster:  Trainer)November 1, 2026, 4:39 pm
