please answer for all the kitties you currently have and plan to keep as pets. please do not include fosters, kittens you plan on giving away, or pets used for breeding, or pets that you used to have.

Leo- 3
Gracie- 1
Lola (RB) - 12 weeks
Raphael- 7 years!!!

I LOVE my middle aged boys! I also BEG anyone who is interested in adoption to consider a cat 5 years old or older. As my coworker likes to tell people "kittens are so overrated" and it's really not necessary to have them for their wholes lives to form a tremendous bond. Raphie is my biggest lovebug and my constant companion.

we got Miagi when we was 7-11 months and Tiger is an older cat, we're not sure of his age, but we rescued him last year in February.
we are thinking he's around 5-9 years old.

those older cats adore you for rescuing them and can become your closest companion, I would love a kitten eventually but I don't regret rescuing Scully at all, he is such a cuddly lovebug, especially when I think back to how antisocial he was when we got him

Pixel & Mouse were 7 weeks old, Cable was approximately 8 weeks old, Java was 3.5 months old, & Chip was [guesstimating] 3 years old.

Festie was born here, to my first foster cat. Garfield joined us as a foster at about 8-10 wks old, so I listed both of them as 0-8. Jazz was around 12 weeks, and Will was probably 4 months, so I clicked for them, too. All were kittens...but I agree adopting an adult is highly recommended!
