You’d like to bring a cat into your home, but the kitten stage seems a bit overwhelming. Since it’s been a while since you’ve had a cat in your home, you’d like a pet that is a bit less rambunctious than a young kitten, and can be a little more independent.

Adopting an older cat may be the best option for you, as it will allow you to enjoy time with a pet without having to go through the curious kitten stage. This means that the pet you bring home will likely know more about the world around her, and require less supervision. She may be able to keep herself out of more trouble than a younger cat would. This can make interactions with an older cat very satisfying from the very beginning, as she will likely be calmer than a kitten would be. Your local Montgomery, TX vet can offer additional guidance.
