Featured Animals: Emmi and Tobi at the City of Bloomington Animal Shelter!

Emmi and Tobi are a senior pair of bonded cats who have lived together for 10 years. They can often be found cuddled up together, relaxing in their colony room. They are very affectionate, not only with each other, but also with their human friends. Emmi loves to rub up against your legs, and Toby loves to lounge purring loudly while “making biscuits”. Emmi and Toby get along great with other animals, and will blend right in with a new family. Emmi and Toby have been at the animal shelter for a very long time and are looking for a retirement home together.

Featured Topic: Senior Pets

Thanks to better medical care and awareness on the part of pet owners, it’s not unusual for pets to live much longer than ever before. It may be difficult to believe that a pet has reached old age, but most cats and dogs are considered “senior pets” by the time they’re around 10 years old. Although older pets may develop age-related problems, good care allows them to be happy, healthy, and active. Senior pets generally need more frequent visits to the vet, possible changes in diet, and in some cases, alterations to their home environment. Tune in to hear a few things to be aware of with a senior pet to help them live their best lives well into their golden years.
