Jimmy, the Cat of the Day
Name: Jimmy
Age: Thirteen years old
Gender: Male
Kind: Domestic Short Hair
Home: Dunfermline, Scotland
 
   When my local rescue charity asked me if I'd consider temporarily fostering an "older" cat I wasn't very keen on the idea to start with. Jimmy had been given up by his owners and, due to his age, had been in the shelter for over six months waiting for that special someone who had not yet arrived. To cut a long story short, we agreed to foster Jimmy and from day one he has been an absolute joy! Not a single argument with my other cats, he loves to lay in font of the fire in whichever room I'm in and sleep on my pillow at night. His other great loves are food, cuddles and kittens (he's a perfect father figure). If anyone out there has any doubts at all about fostering or adopting older cats then please cast them aside - I can't put into words just how marvelous the experience is. I have totally fallen for my old guy and have now officially adopted him. There'll always be a place for him both by my fire and in my heart.
