    Hyper 2 year old???

    as the title suggests, I have a recently adopted 2 year old male of unknown origins, other than he was a friendly community stray.

    Too old to be adopted?

    How old is too old to go from being a stray cat outside to being adopted? I've read that kittens under 2 months are the most successfully, but where is the line drawn by shelters, or other individuals?

    Brand New to Strays/Ferals
