There are so many people losing their homes because of rent increases. In Los Angeles, rentals doubled, sometimes more. People have to make these kinds of choices. The shelters here are in a crisis due to this. It's sad.

My girl was dumped at the humane society too. What was worse is that they kept her sister (litter mate) and the dog. They’d had she and her sister since they were kittens. She doesn’t like being picked up, so I suspect they got rid of her when they had to move because they didn’t think she was very “loving”. This was a couple of months into the pandemic. Their loss is our gain. She purrs like an outboard motor, loves having her belly rubbed, loves to be brushed, makes all the biscuits and will take over my lap for hours. They missed out on all of the love she has to give.

She hit the jackpot when you and your husband adopted her! Such kind and loving people. I'm glad she got her happy forever home. Senior cats are awesome!

Sophia! Beautiful name, beautiful cat. Thank you, Helen, and to your fine husband, for adopting a senior cat abandoned by stupid people. Sophia is a stunner. Love is all that matters.

I just can't imagine how she feels just being abandoned after almost 10 years. How would YOU feel? Thank you for adopting her.....❤

Thank YOU for giving Sophia a loving home. Mature kitties are soooo special.

I adopted a 10 year old cat , who had been left when his person moved to Europe, and the person who was supposed to take him never came to get him. I'd never had a cat either, but he was the most amazing empathic boy. I changed his name to Owen, and he lived an amazing life till he was TWENTY ONE. Adopting a senior, cat or dog, is such an honor. You got a good kitty!!

My FAVORITE cat lived to be over 22 years old and in my opinion iif you get her weight down a bit she will be more active and also live to fine old age. At LEAST 18 years old. Thank you for adopting that little angel because she must have been devastated to be given up like that. I can't imagine leaving a FAMILY MEMBER like that.

The most beautiful people in the world make senior animals part of their family...thank you for being so beautiful! 😻

At least they didnt just let her out the car or leave her at the old house and leave. Plenty of people just abandon animal, there was a camera set up in a dog dumb area in Texas. The camera captured so many cars in the dog dumb area. I am thankful they left the kitty in the shelter.

Thank you for adopting her. Some cats are extremely affectionate and almost every cat I have ever had is right there near you when your not feeling well, more so than my dogs.

I am so VERY THANKFUL for owning my own house and mortgage paid. Our two cats were rescued from the vet who found them on the road in a box. There is absolutely no way we could or would part with them. We would rather die than to be without them.

Precious Sophi😍 I got my cat at 4 weeks. She had been living under a dumpster and eating toys and whatever fell out if dumpster. Kids were poking sticks at her and scaring her😭! A veterinarian s child chased the kids away and then she took her to her mom. She's my baby now🤗😇😍

How can anyone have a pet from baby till senior then just dump it, like garbage ?? Such heartless people out there. Poor baby girl now has abandon issues. Now she has a real true family who'll love her till her last breath.

💕 I've had Cats All my Life & they have Always been Affectionate & in Tune with my Feelings & my Mood. They are Angels here on Earth.🐈🐈‍⬛

The love you give cats, they will give back to you tenfold. ❤Anyone who has ever had a cat & bonded with them can affirm this. I have 2 beautiful green-eyed, black furry rescue cats. And whenever I cry, Gracie (who I adopted first) will come up to me & crawl up onto my lap/chest & snuggle & purr & lick my ears 🥹 I’m so happy to hear that you’ve given Sophia a caring loving home, and that she has brought so much joy to your lives in return - God bless you all❣️🥰

**THANK YOU, HEAVENLY FATHER, FOR SENDING THE "RIGHT" PEOPLE TO ADOPT THIS BEAUTIFUL PRECIOUS CAT. AND THUS, PROVIDING HER FOREVER HOME!! WHERE SHE WILL BE CARED FOR, LOVED + CHERISHED, FOR THE REST OF HER PRECIOUS PRECIOUS LIFE!!**

THANK YOU for adopting an older cat. I adopted mine at age 14 (her not me) and now she's 19 years old and still is as loving as ever.

Kudos to the family for adopting a senior cat. We'll do that one day too. For now, we have a 19 year old cat that we rescued from a highway (literally running under vehicles in stop and go traffic) when she was 6 weeks old. She's an integral part of our lives.

Thank you, so much for adopting an older cat. I've always been miffed that after 6 they consider cats to be senior. I have a darling sweet American Shorthair who is 16 and doing great. A month or two ago she looked about 8, but we've recently been through some trauma so she's lost some weight. Her fur is standing up a bit too. I've had 3 cats that have all lived past 17; so you have many more years with your precious girl.

She loves you so much

Thank you for saving Sophia! She was the right cat at the right time! She's a sweetheart who's got so much love to give. Sophia's crying when you leave her alone is because she's afraid of being abandoned again. You're giving her the life and the love she deserves and vice versa! 😇😇😇🐈🐾💗

Thanks for giving Sophia another chance. One of my oldest cats lived to be almost 22, so Sophia has many good years ahead.

Thank you for adopting this beautiful lady. She may be 10, but that's not old for cats. Hopefully, you'll be together for another 8 years, if not longer. As you've already seen, cats are very intuitive and will comfort you if you're not well or upset. I had one that would paw my chin and reach up to lick my tears and purr to help me relax. She would curl up on my lap and hold my hand in place so that I would scratch/rub her belly, which is also a great way to relax. As your bond with her grows, you will discover what she likes, and she you. Every cat has its own personality, just like dogs, and some will even talk and hold a conversation with you. Enjoy this precious girl, and I hope you have many happy years together. ❤🐈🐈‍⬛

She has a adorable face!!!!

So glad you are helping her reduce. I think everyone will feel better.

So glad you adopted Sophia. Adopting a young kitten does not guarantee a long life. We just lost our baby and he was not even two. I pray she lives a long (which I know will be happy) life with you and your husband. We have had cats that were approaching 20 lbs and lived very long lives (19 years old). Looks like she is a very affectionate girl and if she comforts you when you are upset you have a real love angel! Thanks again for giving her a chance and a wonderful home.

She has been blessed with 2 great humans a mom and a dad.

My cat is the same way. She is 5 now. Cannot imagine life without her. She really is so precious ❤

She is beautiful. Now she has the home she deserves.

She knows how much you love her. And she's reciprocating that love. It's so wonderful!

She’s a sweetie! ❤ I had to say goodbye to my 19 yr old boy in January. I adopted him when he was about 3 and I adored everything about him & I’m so grateful I had him in my life. He was such an amazing & constant presence. I’ll miss him forever. I recently wanted to go hang out with some cats at the shelter, and I ended up adopting a senior whose owner passed away. He’s 10, a big ginger tom with a big personality and he’s helping me more than I can say. 🕊️❤️ Thank you for giving Sofia a second chance and a wonderful life!

Thank you for being such a loving people. I had a cat that when I was going through divorce and lost my mom, I was crying a lot. She would come and sit on my neck or chest and licked my face and tears. She too was from shelter.

Thank you for adopting Sophia! She really needed you. Cats can be very affectionate. Your husband is a sweetie too! I think men who love cats are special. By the way she is beautiful! Enjoy her, she obviously is grateful!

What a sweetheart she is! So are Helen and her husband. Sophia obviously has a lot of love to give them and she’s getting it back in spades. I hope she lives a long life them.

Delighted how you provided her with a wonderfully loving home after she was abandoned. That must have left a big print on her emotionally, yet she was able to open up her heart and take love in anew. Lovely chunky girl she is 🥰

Cats are very affectionate and can read their human pet. Cat mom for all my life. Whoever told this woman cats aren't affectionate probable told her they're stupid too. They're smart, funny, affectionate, loving, crazy, and can be a best friend. I recommend everyone have more than one for the fun and laughter they provide.

I'm so grateful to you for taking her. I can only imagine what she must have felt when her family left her! She absolutely knows how much you love her and I hope you all have many more years together! ❤

She was meant to be with the two of you, blessings to all three of you.

God bless you and your husband for giving Sophia a second chance at a loving home. What a beautiful story. 😊

God bless you for adopting her. My heart breaks for any pet that is abandoned by their people. Ive never understood why people say we had to move and couldn’t take my pet. My thoughts are move where you can take pet with you. Its an excuse. It makes me livid. Thank you for opening your hearts and home for that sweet baby.

Bless this couple for adopting this senior cat.❤

After 10 years and she is abandoned. Heartbreaking. Thanks for giving her a home for her senior years.
