Things didn’t look good for Pepa and Meli, two 21-year-old cats in the care of West LA Animal Services in Los Angeles. Their owner had passed away and too often, senior cats don’t fare well in a shelter setting. But, thanks to a family with a soft spot for senior kitties, these two will live out the rest of their lives happy and loved.
According to Love Meow, when the bonded pair arrived at the shelter, workers knew their chances of adoption were slim. Senior cats are hard to adopt and a pair of senior cats is even harder. So the shelter put a plea out to their network for help.
When Amanda Smith of San Diego learned about the cats, she knew she had to help. “A bonded pair of super seniors. I think we all know what the odds are there. To make matters worse, Meli had been moved off the adoption floor due to fearful and aggressive behavior. Being guardian to a previously terrified girl I knew I had to get them both out of there.”
