Senior for Senior Foster Program
The PAWS ‘Seniors for Seniors’ program matches people 60 and over
in the Creston area with older pets. These matches usually work out
well because older pets are trained, calmer, and quieter than
younger animals, so they better fit the lifestyle of an older
person.
Older adults may not want the commitment of a pet but have the room
in both their heart and their home for one. Senior pets can
sometimes be harder to adopt because of their age or because they
also have special needs, so this is also a win-win for the pet.
The program matches a senior pet with the applicant. PAWS covers the
medical expenses and special needs items.
In turn, we ask that:
- if the cat is an indoor cat, it
always be kept indoors
- you let PAWS know how the match is
working out
- you let PAWS know if the foster pet
has any health problems or behavioural concerns
- you let PAWS know if you can no
longer care for the pet

Lionheart is a handsome, large Tuxedo fellow.
This gentle cat has a big, kind heart. He is laid-back, friendly & social. Lionheart loves his people...his favorite thing is hanging out on the couch & cuddling!
