Why Adopt an Adult Cat? #WellnessPetFood #AdoptaCatMonth

June 26, 2014 by L. E. Mastilock

June is adopt a cat month

I encourage you to consider adopting an adult cat (or two). Here are some great reasons: 

  • Rascal and Rocco were adopted as adults and they think you should adopt some fabulous kitties, too.
  • Unlike kittens they’re less likely to shred curtains and couches or scratch and bite. 
  • They won’t pounce on your head at night, no wait, they might still do that. 
  • Adult cats won’t have to be trained to use the litter box. 
  • If you have young kids, they’re less fragile. 
  • They are in greater need of homes as kittens are usually preferred over adults.
  • They often still have lots of playfulness. 
  • You’ll have a better idea of what you’re getting, such as personality and how big they’ll get.
  • If you want to relax after a long day, a kitten will be ready to play, but an older cat may be content to curl up on your lap and snuggle. 

There are plenty more reasons, but adopting an older cat into your family could be the best choice you ever made.

Who would be sleeping on my head if I didn’t have Rascal? Who would keep my feet warm without Rocco? Who would wake me at sunrise every morning, even on my days to sleep in? Who would purr, kneed my legs, and knock my book out of my hand to give me love and affection?

Who would scratch at the door to come in, then out, then in, then out again, giving me extra exercise to open and close the door ten times in a row for them. How would I stay fit without that? These furry, demanding, boys have brought so much joy to my life.

Caring for your adult cat

Of course you’ll want to take exceptional care of your new adult cats and one way to do that is by providing the best nutrition for your cats health.

Cats need plenty of hydration, but they don’t get enough from drinking water alone. It’s important to give them healthy wet cat food that will keep them hydrated.

Wellness Divine Duos, is a great option as they use natural ingredients and are filled with super nutrients, not stuffed with fillers.

As you can see, Rascal couldn’t scarf his down fast enough!

For healthy dry cat food, we’ve been feeding our cats Wellness Complete Health Salmon, Salmon Meal & Deboned Turkey Recipe.

The boys love the taste and I love that it’s all natural, promotes healthy muscle tone, skin, and coat, and is packed with nutrients.

They even have a gold seal on each package with the

Wellness promise: 

NO: GMOs, meat By-products, wheat, corn, soy, artificial colors, flavors, or preservatives. 

As a pioneer in holistic nutrition, Wellness seeks new ways to help pets thrive, educate people about the importance of a healthy lifestyle, and support animal wellness programs.

    Thank you for this great post! It was great to read your opinion on this topic as I'm currently facing the same decision: kittens or adult cats.

    Great post and cute pics! Have to say that you're timing on this post is perfect–because apparently, every June through August is prime moving season (at least here in Montreal), and thousands of cats (and dogs) are abandoned by their families during the moving process! Talk about heartless and irresponsible!!!! Anyway, if Momma wasn't so allergic & asthmatic, we'd totally adopt! We love you meowzers! ♥♥ xo, Destiny

    Great post! My human wishes she could rescue a grown-up kitty, but for now if she wants another cat, it will probably have to be a kitten – with us three senior cats, a malleable kitten is probably the easiest for us to adjust to.
