This past spring we adopted a 14-year-old tortoiseshell cat who’d lost her original family. We just wanted to offer her a good home for her golden years and ended up with a 14-year-old kitten! We did have to provide her medications for IBS and low B12, but after that she went from a cadaverous 5.5 pounds to a healthy 8 pounds and she seems happy to be here.
