Senior animals are often down on their luck in life. They have medical expenses and other issues that need special care that some aren’t willing to give. As a result, some people just abandon the animals in their time of need. Thankfully, there are some people out there who care enough to open up their hearts and home for these seniors in need.
Barnaby is a cat that was found wandering the streets of New Jersey.

This little cat was really in rough shape. Barnaby had a bad eye and was incredibly malnourished. He was totally alone and was a “senior citizen” as far as cats go. At 15 years old, there weren’t a lot of people who were willing to help the cat in need.
Thankfully, Voorhees Animal Orphanage stepped in to help him.
Barnaby was given the food that he needed, a warm place to sleep off the streets, and water. When the shelter took a closer look at him, they realized that the likelihood of Barnaby getting adopted was very slim. He needed a lot of medical attention and special love. For many prospective adopters, this was a bit too much to ask.
For tough adoption cases like Barnaby, it takes a special person to help.
All of a sudden, Dr. Ed Sheehan and his wife, Clare, called the shelter and asked for some more information on the senior cat. They wanted to help treat the cat in need at their own clinic. Would they be interested in helping him get a forever home, too?
After Ed and Barnaby met, it was a perfect match.

There are some matches that just make sense! When Ed and the senior kitty met for the first time they connected in a way that only a pet owner can know. Barnaby couldn’t help but make Ed smile and laugh. After helping treat the cat, Ed knew that he couldn’t live life without him.
The offer for help soon turned into a match made in kitty heaven.

Ed decided that Barnaby was such an incredible cat that he didn’t want to live without him! He officially adopted the senior cat and brought him into his home. Soon, however, everyone noticed a change in Barnaby.

Spending some time with someone who cared had an interesting effect on Barnaby.

After being adopted, Barnaby started to act like a whole new cat! He was happy, healthy, and cared for for the first time in his life! It seemed to have a magical effect on the cat and he seemed to shed years off of his life. Having someone care for you might just be the best medicine for a broken heart.
There are lots of animals like Barnaby.
Hello

Sadly, there are lots of senior citizen pets that need help. We can all do our part in caring for our friends as they get older. If we want a pet just for their baby stages, we may need to wait to get one.
Dr. Ed made sure that one cat lived the rest of his life happy and loved.
