senior

We absolutely adore senior pets, for so many reasons. 

1. They're the ultimate love bugs. They can express their love and gratitude so deeply, it makes our eyes water just thinking about it. 

2. They are a part of us, our senior pets have been there for us time and time again. When all else around you might seem hectic and hopeless, you can always count on them to be there. 

3. Everything. There's something so special about our senior pets, all their quirks, and unique markings. We can spot our pets out of a lineup of all the pets in the world, that's how much we know them and their hearts. 

Share a picture with us of your senior love bug in the comments below. And if you're looking for more senior pets to gush over, look no further! 

As your pet gets older and older, you start thinking about getting it a pet friend - some company, someone to love when you're busy and not around. And though you may not think that getting your senior cat a pet great Dane dog would be the best idea in the world, in this case, you'd be wrong, because this senior kitty and huge doggo absolutely love each other. 

They're best friends and love each other so much. They have out together in the sunshine every single morning, sometimes, they kitty uses the pupper as its personal pillow. And they are so adorable together, the collective hearts of the internet have completely melted. 

Happy Friday, animal lovers! And it is indeed a happy Friday because of all these beautiful recently adopted faces! Our hearts are simply bursting at the sight of all these beauties in their forever homes! 

Welcome back to our weekly original segment -- the newly adopted faces of the week! Each week, we gather up all the adopted faces we come across and feature them all here for you. Not only is it inspiring and super wholesome, but it's also uplifting as well. It just makes us happier. 

As always, we would like to thank all those who have recently adopted a pet, to thank all those who have adopted a pet in the past, and to pre-thank all those who will be adopting in the future. Thank you so much for giving all these animals a life full of love. And a huge-ultra-mega shout out to all those who adopt senior animals or animals in need of some extra love and care. Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts. 

If you're thinking about getting a pet, please consider adoption. Rescue animals know they're being rescued and they are beyond grateful and show that gratefulness with so much affection. 

No, I can't come hang out with you today, I'm celebrating my cat's Quinceañera. Yes, that's a perfect reason not to hang out with someone. This is a very important thing. And if the person you're talking to doesn't understand your reasoning for not hanging out with them, then they clearly don't know what it's like to have a pet, let alone a senior one. 

Every single birthday is precious with senior pets. Every day is deserving of celebration. Especially, when it comes to the most special kinds of birthdays - happy 10s, sweets sixteens, Quinceañeras. Need to look for as many reasons as possible to celebrate them. And today, we're joining in on twitter's celebration of senior pets, because they've earned it.

So, happy birthday to allllll the senior pets out there!! We hope you get many, many more birthdays such as this one.

Happy Friday, fellow animal lovers! Fridays are already special because the weekend has finally arrived but here at 'I Can Has Cheezburger,' it's also special because of our weekly original segment -- the newly adopted faces of the week!

We would like to thank all those who have recently adopted, all those who have adopted a pet in the past, and all of those who will be adopting a pet in the future. You all are changing these animals' lives for the better, so, thank you. And a huge shoutout to those who animal a senior pet or a pet who requires a tad more tender love and care. You are our forever heroes. 

If you're thinking about getting a pet, please consider adoption. Rescue animals know they're being rescued and it's the love they can provide is immeasurable.

Happy birthday, Goober! Goober is turning 13, and we are so in love with him. He has gone through so much -  chronic sinusitis, losing a leg to cancer and growing a tumor in another leg. He has stayed strong the whole way through, and we are so dang proud of him. He's doing okay, surrounded by people who love him, and he is such a brave survivor, all we want is to give him treats and love. 

Thank you to ReluctantGenius for sharing his story with us. We as well as the rest of the internet are more than happy to show some love to this adorable little senior furball. We hope he gets to live for a long, long time and enjoy every single minute of his life. 

If you have your own adorable animal stories to share, come tell us all about them in our Facebook community: ICanHas Storytime. 

Meet Gumball- the 10-year-old cat with the perpetually derpy face who the internet (and us) has fallen in love with. She's clingy and loving (and a little gassy), and in her owner's words, she couldn't be "more perfect."

I mean, how can you not fall in love with her? This most beautiful little goblin who was adopted only about 6 months ago has been bringing nothing but joy to her owner, and now, she's bringing joy to the rest of us too. 

Thank you, GumballtheGoblin, for sharing your gorgeous goblin with us. We wish her an easy and long long life forward with many more derps and viral posts. 

It's true that every single adoption needs to be celebrated - taking the time to take care of any animal, giving it the love and support it needs. It is also true that there is something extra special about adopting senior pets. 

Taking in a senior even though you know that they won't live as long is emotionally challenging. Yet, making that decision and deciding to give all your love to a less fortunate pet is something that we should not only be celebrating but also something that we should be grateful for, because not everyone can take a pet like that on. 

When our amazing ICanHasCheezburger users decided to share with us their stories of senior pet adoptions, we knew that saying thank you to them would only be right. And if you have some of your own stories, come share them in our new Facebook community - ICanHas Storytime. 

Everyone, say hi to Mincha - the 14 year old senior cat who has the face of a human baby while also looking like an old grandma. Say hi loudly though, she'll probably understand you considering that she's definitely at least part human, but she needs you to speak loudly so she can hear, okay?

Thank you to aoryuucchi for sharing pictures of this awwwdorable senior kitty in this tumblr thread. There is nothing that we love more than giving love back to well taken care of senior cats, and this expressive little lady looks like she has a lovely forever home to be happy in. 

If you have you own unique cuties, come share their stories in our Facebook community - ICanHas Storytime - so we'll be able to give your fluffballs some luuuurv too.
