Dutchie and Renee Senior Cat Rescue Foundation

Dutchie and Renee Senior Cat Rescue Foundation The Dutchie and Renee Senior Cat Rescue Foundation is dedicated to assisting displaced older cats by helping find them foster and permanent homes. Dave & Lisa

Our objective is to assist senior cats who are turned into shelters for whatever reason and are in need of a foster or permanent home in which to spend their final years. Our love of older cats and our motivation to focus on senior and geriatric cats started with Dutchie and Renee, Dave’s faithful companions from years past, who left us at age 16 1/2 for kitty heaven in 2016. As both aged graceful

ly we witnessed their physical and psychological changes and the changes in their needs; when they got older both needed medicine and near the end, Renee also required fluid therapy which we willingly provided knowing that it extended and gave her quality of life. We realized that older cats with life still left in them could end up without someone to care for them through no fault of their own. Although most older cats do not require medical care, some do. Most recently, we adopted Maggie. At age 14, Maggie was surrendered by her owner to the Burlington County Animal Shelter. After seeing her picture, we decided to meet her which resulted in one more cat lucky enough to join the Lande family. After taking her home, we took Maggie for a wellness check and found out she had diabetes which explained why she was not feeling well. But we saw that once her diabetes was under control, she began to feel better and live a normal life. To control her diabetes, we give her insulin injections twice a day and she continues to live a healthy and happy life. We are currently looking for people who wish to foster senior and geriatric cats which will allow us to pull these older cats from local shelters. The obvious goal is to find permanent homes for these deserving older cats. Adopting an older cat has both benefits and drawbacks. Older cats have already lived most of their life so when a person adopts a senior or geriatric cat it is with the understanding that their newest furry companion may only be around for a few months or a few years at best (which also means that a person’s commitment to the cat is usually short term if that was an issue preventing someone from committing to adopt). Although many do not, some old cats may also have a medical condition that needs to be treated. Hey, if Dave and I can learn to give medicine, administer fluids and give insulin injections then anyone can! The most heartfelt benefit is that you have saved an older cat from a likely premature death in a shelter and in return you will receive unconditional love from a faithful companion! We are accepting donations to assist with things like adoption fees, medical screenings, and medical treatment. Be assured that all of your donation goes towards the beneficiaries of the Dutchie and Renee Senior Cat Rescue Foundation. We have paid and will continue to pay for all the foundations administration costs. If you wish to donate, please make checks payable to the Dutchie and Renee Senior Cat Rescue Foundation and send them to 88 Agress Rd, Millstone Twp, NJ 08535, or you can donate via PayPal to [email protected].

A few months ago we put out a plea for Persa, who found herself in a cage at the humane society. Shannon & Olivia (former adopters of Felix, now Clark) reached out to foster.

They have officially adopted Persa, now Reese, into their family. Senior cats are really the best and giving them a forever home, well that’s the best feeling!!

Adopting 2 seniors makes me so happy!!! ❤️

*** BEAUTIFUL LONG-HAIRED SENIOR****
ID 61413560 The name Bella means beautiful, and this lady with the long hair and stunning coloring could not be called anything else. Sadly, her owner has moved into hospice care, and she is seeking a new forever home. In her life, she has lived with kids, cats and dogs and got along with everyone. She's friendly and enjoyed playing in her home. Bella is now 13 years old and hopes her stay at the shelter will be a short one. She is spayed, vaccinated, and FIV/Felv negative. After her examination, she is marked as "geriatric" and having some lumps that cannot be determined so a waiver will need to be signed by the adopter, acknowledging that she will need to be seen by their own veterinarian. Bella's adoption fee has been waived by the county for an approved adopter. Could you be the next loving home for this beauty? Ask to meet her today!

Meet Prince 👑❤️

Some cats spend their lives taking care of themselves. Prince is ready for someone to finally take care of him.

Late one night, a friend of one of our volunteers heard desperate crying outside her home. When she rushed out to investigate, she found Prince narrowly avoiding traffic and danger. Thin, dehydrated, and clearly having fallen on hard times, this gentle soul was struggling to survive on his own.

Despite everything he’s been through, Prince’s sweet and trusting nature never faded. Instead of fear, he greeted his rescuer with kindness. Instead of running away, he simply seemed grateful to be safe.

The veterinarian estimates Prince is over 10 years old. The good news? His heart sounds great, his teeth are in good shape, and he still has plenty of love left to give. What he needs now is some TLC, good meals, and a soft place to rest his weary paws.

We’ve done everything possible to find his family, but despite having a microchip, it was never registered, and all efforts to locate an owner have been unsuccessful. No one has come looking for him.

Prince’s finder already has seven cats and cannot keep him, so we are searching for the happy ending he so deserves. He is a wonderful eater, has perfect litter box habits, and asks for very little. His favorite thing in the world is a warm lap and a kind person to snuggle beside.

After years of who knows what, Prince deserves more than survival—he deserves to be cherished.

Could you be the hero this sweet senior has been waiting for? Could you give Prince the love, comfort, and security he’s always deserved?

Please share and help us find Prince the forever home where he can spend his golden years surrounded by love. 🐾👑❤️

♥️♥️♥️ can someone please go and adopt Prune!!! We will pay for her medical exam and bloodwork.

This senior kitty needs her forever home.

🐾💕 Senior Cat Update: Meet Prune! 💕🐾

Our sweet senior Himalayan mix, Prune, is still waiting for her second chance at a loving home.

Poor Prune appears to have been left outside, and sadly, no one ever came to reclaim her. Despite everything she has been through, Prune remains a gentle, affectionate girl who enjoys attention and is ready to spend her golden years in the comfort of a loving home.

As a senior cat, Prune deserves a family willing to provide the extra care, patience, and love that comes with adopting an older pet. In return, she will reward you with companionship, gratitude, and plenty of affection.

If you have room in your heart and home for a special senior lady, please consider giving Prune the happy ending she deserves.

To learn more about Prune or to find out how you can help, please contact the Old Bridge Animal Shelter at (732) 607-4801 or email [email protected].

🐱❤️ Please share to help Prune find her forever home!
