A young generation that is moving so fast and reckless, that they find the slow and careful offensives.

True an older cat may have health problems, especially if the owners before could not afford to take them to the vet as often as necessary.

Why do most people only want to adopt kittens? Is age so terrible that it is something to be avoided? Is aging so horrible that it is something to be concealed even when considering a pet.
