Domestic Longhair kittens & cats in Olean, New York

 Joyful Rescues is considering Tom to be a sanctuary kitty with us.  It's not that he is feral as are the other 6 sanctuary kitties here that live in the basement, garage, outside, with cat doors open 24/7.  Tom is a friendly kitty, but he seems really elderly and it also seems that he has lived a rather rough life and likely mostly, if not all, outside.  He was not neutered until he arrived....maybe his playboy days were over so he decided to find a nice retirement home as he invited himself to live here.  Whether one of the other cats showed him all the doors or he found them himself is a mystery, but he's not the first kitty to simply appear in our basement.  He was afraid of us humans at first, but warmed up quickly once he realized he was safe.  Tom is very happy here and hangs around the humans when outside.  We have noticed that his eyes seem 'weepy' and his breathing is audible.  Other than this he seems healthy for his age and has a good appetite and gets around just fine.  Just an absolute guess maybe he was born in 2009.  Would we welcome an adoption for Tom?  Yes, as long as we felt he would be happier there than he is here. A cat can live 12-18+ years if cared for properly. Be sure you are able to care for it for its lifetime. The ADOPTION FEE:  There is no fee for Tom.

Bilbo's history before he was rescued by a cat rescue in Castile, NY is unknown but he was found trying to live on his own. My partner and I adopted him on a blustery winter's eve. He looked skinny as if he had been fending for himself quite awhile. His age is unknown though the rescue said he could be 10 yrs. He has missing teeth but is still eating kibble, though he loves wet food. He flourished in our home. He gained weight and his fur thickened. After spending 2 years with us, my partner's health deteriorated. After about 4 years with us, my partner died, which up ended my life. I moved to subsidized housing and was not able to have him in my apartment. My brother who lives close by has been fostering him, but can't keep him. His shots are up to date and he has been neutered. He loves to play with toys and loves being brushed.
