I think that is wonderful that you are going to take the older kitty!

Most of my cats are "older" except for Cameo and Michael. They all showed up here as strays. And I notice that someone has dropped off two more strays here. I cant afford to take any more of them and the landlord will try to evict me if I am caught feeding them outside. But just between us... I do so anyhow! I just put food out late at night and bring the dish back in when they are done. One is solid black and the other is black and white. Both look healthy so they havent been on their own for too long.

Sigh... how I wish that I could take every cat that shows up in and love them.
