20-Year-Old Chloe Finds Sanctuary and Love in Her Golden Years
A compassionate woman recently offered a forever home to a senior cat, ensuring she spends her golden years with all the comforts she deserves, including veterinary care, delicious food, and abundant affection.
Let us introduce you to Chloe, a charming tabby. At 20 years old, Chloe found herself in a shelter. After spending nearly a month there, this elderly feline’s fortunes changed when a kind-hearted woman came to give her a new lease on life.
Karyn Poplin, who co-founded the Kitty Adventure Rescue League and Sanctuary in Fort Worth, Texas, learned about Chloe’s situation and decided to act quickly to save her.
“She was surrendered by her owner and had been in a shelter cage for a month before we found out about her,” Karyn shared with Love Meow.
According to Karyn, a shelter is no place for a cat of Chloe’s age. “The environment can be harsh, with the spread of infections and diseases, limited staff, and scarce space reserved for younger, more adoptable pets,” she explained.
Unfortunately, this often leads to older or special needs cats facing euthanasia.
Rescued just in time, Chloe was relocated to her new permanent home at the cat sanctuary. With her uniquely spaced eyes, Chloe also has a minor lazy eye, though it does not appear to trouble her.
“She’s adapting well to her new surroundings and fellow felines, and seems quite content,” Karyn revealed to Love Meow.
“Every animal deserves companionship in their later years, far from the fear of dying alone in a shelter. Senior cats are particularly dear to us,” she added.
Despite her advanced age, Chloe is brimming with personality and shows no sign of slowing down.
