Watch: Woman adopts senior cat that lived in the shelter for two years, has the most heartwarming response after finally coming home

The useful part

But, they also make a mess of your house, keep you up all night for at least a few months, and can be a handful, to say the least. Senior cats can be alone for long periods of time, are often quite independent, but still love your companionship. Most of the time, they just want to eat in peace, sleep, and give you love.

How it works

• Senior cats, however, will thank you every day for taking them out of the scary, crowded shelter, into your quiet and loving home.
• They are more grateful than kittens, who are still learning about the world and will never really understand the difference between the shelter and your home.
• She adopted a senior cat who had been living in the shelter for two years, struggling through every day, just hoping someone would see him and choose him.
• It's enough to bring tears to your eyes, and warm up even the coldest hearts.

Details worth keeping

They're tiny, they're floofy, they're playful, and purrfectly adorable. Not every home environment is suitable for kittens, also. What do you do if you still want a cute kitty to cuddle with?
