Animal Care and Control here has a program called "Seniors for Seniors", where seniors can adopt a senior pet for very little money. I can't believe they would tell her she's too old! That is definitely age discrimination and I would call them!

How terrible!
It's bad enough that we have to deal with racisim, sexism and "class-ism" in this society without having to deal with ageism as well!

I have some very strong words for the people that rejected her!!!

One of the things I'm looking forward to about retirement is being able to have a few cats around me, I can't even think of how upset I would if someone refused me that!

The Seniors for Seniors plan sounds perfect.

Funny how the shelters hate that people don't care to adopt their "senior" cats yet they (at least this one in particular) does not want to adopt "to" a senior.
