Cats given up by San Antonio owner for being "too old" looking for a home
ANTONIO — Three senior cats in good health — two are 20 years old and one is 25 — are in need of a new home after their owner gave them up because they were "too old."

Two are blind, but are otherwise healthy and have adapted to the visual challenge, and veterinary staff at Animal Care Services said none of the three have any health problems.

They walk just fine, interact with people and don't need any medication.

Because they have been together so long, ACS wants to find them a home for all three, named by the staff for the "Golden Girls" of TV fame: Rose, Blanche and Dorothy.

They’ve definitely bonded with each other," said Bethany Heins, live release manager at ACS.

ACS spokeswoman Lisa Norwood said the trio fall under special hospice adoptions and adoption fees would be waived.

Experts say a 12-year-old cat is equivalent to about a 70-year-old human, which would make these cats well over the century mark, if they were people.

Few cats live to be 20, let alone in good health with no need for medication.

“These are good-looking cats. Because they’re older doesn’t mean they shouldn’t be treated like the queens that they are,” Norwood said. “There’s still life left for them and we want them to have that life together.”

But first you must learn how to smile as you kill,
If you want to be like the folks on the hill."
