These ‘senior’ cats need homes, too (PHOTOS)
Nothing's cuter than a kitten, but cats at any age can be wonderful, furry companions.
While many people look to adopt kitten, especially around the holidays, there are many “senior” cats in New Jersey that also need homes with loving families.
According to the ASPCA, "when you choose to adopt an older pet, you know what to expect. Senior pets are fully grown, their personalities have developed, and many are already trained."
