Hello gang, thanks once again for stopping by for our Thankful Thursday Blog Hop. I am always thankful to each of you for joining us! Each and every Thursday we share the things for which we are most thankful and we always enjoy reading all of the things you are thankful for too. If you are new to our Thankful Thursday Blog Hop, thanks for hopping in, we really do get excited when new blogger pals join us!
Over the years most of us long time cat bloggers have have probably posted about the virtues of adopting a senior cat. I’ll have a recap in a bit, but for now I’d like to tell you about one sweet senior kitty that recently found his forever home. Meet Jax…
Jax is a most handsome thirteen year old guy who was adopted by our friend Mom J. on October 12th. Jax is a complete joy, he has such a mellow purrsonality, loves his special blanket, looks handsome in his bandanas, enjoys snoozing. Jax loves to drink from the drippy faucet so Mom J. bought him a fountain and he totally loves it. We’re thankful for wonderful humans like Mom J. who has a heart filled with love for her senior Jax.
Adopting a senior cat does have advantages. Senior cats require less supervision and you don’t have to kitten-proof your house. They’d much rather lay on a nice blanket than tear down your new curtains. Usually, what you see is what you get, they’ve already established their routines and their purrsonalities shine through. Plus, you really help a kitty that needs you the most and you free up a slot in the shelter for another kitty to get lucky.
So, what are you thankful for today? Tell us in the comments and then join us for our Thankful Thursday Blog Hop. Remember, adopt cats, we deserve it!!!!! More Forever Homes More Often! Purrrrr! Zip! Later!
We agree; mature cats are mellow and lovely!
Older cats are very special, they are an excellent addition to the family.
Senior cats are awesome! All of our kitties, with the exception of Ava, have been senior. 🙂
Jax looks so handsome…and so fluffy.
Jax sounds like an awesome guy!
we are so happy for Jax…and we hope that more older friends find a wonderful home too…
Awwwww! Jax is mighty good looking and I am SO happy he got a home of his own!!
Sounds like he has a pawsome purrsonality too.
He’s not old, just mature 😉
Purrs, Julie
Jax is a most handsome ginger boy – and yep – seniors are more relaxed and snuggly and really REALLY appreciate having a steady home….no shuffling around – just able to relax and be happy for the rest of their days.
Hugs, Teddy
Happy HomeComing, Jax …
Jax is a very handsome fellow and we are thankful him and Mom J found each other.
This is wonderful, we’re so happy that Jax found his forever home. We hope he has many years of love ahead with your friend Mom J. ♥
Jax is a lucky boy! Gramma’s first cat was a senior that she adopted and he was a great cat.
He is truly VERY handsome and my mom said he’s just my age.
we are thankful Mom J found Jax and adopted him. we are 100 % in agreement to adopt senior cats and also senior dogs. and what you stated here is also true about senior dogs. I always remind people that senior pets are the best for us seniors people….
I am so happy for Jax. He is a cutie and so are you. I keep trying to get my 80 yr old mom to adopt a senior cat, but she is afraid of tripping on a cat. Thanks for hosting. Have a great day. XO
What a beautiful story about Jax and his new mom. We hope they have many years together.
How wonderful that Jax got a home!
I agree that senior cats are most special. They need us so much too. What a wonderful thing Mom J. did for Jax. Bless her and Jax.
Thank you for hosting the Thankful Thursday Blog Hop.
Have a purrfect Thankful Thursday. Scritches to all the kitties and my best to your wonderful peeps. ♥
Jax you are absolutely a most handsome ginger man and already excellent at taking selfies.
Welcome to you furever home

If I hadn’t stumbled upon our kittens last December the plan was to adopt a single older adult to keep Jezebel company since Luna passed away in 2014 and Tilly in 2019. Hurray for sweet Jax finding a loving human. Blessings to them both. 🙂
Jax is a gorgeous boy and Mom J is a Superhero for sure! Senior cats are such wonderful furever friends and it is such a blessing when you see one get a loving home.
Jax looks gorgeous 😀
Jax is so handsome and we’re glad he’s found a new home. Senior kitties make wonderful family members. Sammi was 10 when we adopted her.
Jax is a very handsome and dignified looking feline! As for being adopted which in itself is wonderful, I am glad he now has his own fountain. Isn’t funny how some cats like to drink from dripping sink faucets and yet others want nothing to do with water? …jp
Jax is very handsome, and I am glad he has a loving home.
Jax is so handsome and he is one lucky kitty!~
Purrs,
Tama and Benny

No one is more appreciative, or loving than a senior pet.

Jax is stunning!!! And kudos to Mom J for giving him a furever home.

Jax is so beautiful. I love it when people adopt senior cats and dogs! We are so fortunate when they reach their golden years. I am thankful my senior Husky, Wolfie, even with his arthritis is still feeling like a pupster! New blogger friend I am working with “Our Spiritual Journey” has joined your blog hop today!
Such a beauty! Hope you and your family are well and prepped for a relaxing weekend !:-)
Adopting a senior kitty is such a joy, and Jax is just amazing!
Paws up for Jax finding his forever home!
Such a handsome boy; he reminds us of our dear departed boy Niles. Yes, senior adoptions can be very rewarding – even more so for senior humans.
Aww, Jax looks so happy! I love when furbabies find their fur-ever homes!!
What a handsome Man Jax is! We know how wonderful senior cats are and people like Mom J who adopt them are special too! Thanks for introducing us to Jax Brian! You guys ROCK! We hope you all have had a marvellously happy week!
Jax is pretty kitty.
Coffee is on and stay safe
Well done to Mom J for adopting Jax! I miss our furbabies so much!!! If I was going to adopt another cat, it would not be a kitten! Enjoy your weekend!
Seniors are COOL…Jax is one lucky kitty, and beautiful and the one who adopted him sure is an angel✨Extra Pawkisses🐾😽💞

Oh wow, epic news for Jax and his new mom! Senior cats are epic, Amber says so! Happy Friyay sweeties, and thanks as always for hosting! X
Jax is so handsome! I’m glad he was adopted. Yay for senior adoptions!
Hooray for Jax and other senior cats! Maria’s Cats have many senior cats and some have been adopted or long-term fostered. We’re so happy for them.
How wonderful of Mom J to adopt Jax! They are both blessed.
