While trying to find a home for a Persian and Siamese who had been dumped at a shelter, at 12 years of age, by an owner who said she didn't want to be bothered with them any more , I came across this marvelous sanctuary:

I just wanted to let you all know about it, so you can visit via the internet and see the many elderly cats that Rita has adopted and cared for over the past several years. It must be such an enormous relief to all the cats she has rescued to be taken away from the sudden shock of a cage in a noisy shelter to a safe, calm haven. Here are some images from her web page:





There are also many, many quotes that you will enjoy, and a page for rescuers that is both helpful and uplifting.
