A super senior cat found herself in the shelter at the age of 23. When a volunteer started petting her, she was so happy to be loved that she couldn’t stop purring.
Meet Miss Ora!
CACC Cat Transfer Team
This old gal had been with her human since 1994, but for whatever reason she was surrendered to the city shelter in Chicago, where her fate became uncertain.
Ora came with a list of ailments. “She is 23 years old, and he has had her since 1994,”
CACC Cat Transfer Team
said.
“Not sure exactly why he would give her up after all of that time together, but he did mention that she has been peeing outside of the box and she has not been to the vet in a while.”

She is incredibly loving and will purr up a storm when volunteers give her head scratches.
They knew that the sweet-natured old gal didn’t belong to the shelter.
