Rescues have a difficult time getting senior cats adopted. If you cannot keep your cat, and have exhausted all potential rehoming options with friends and family, look for a sanctuary that will take your cat for the remainder of her lifetime.

Note that sanctuaries all have limited space, so many will be unable to take your cat, but offering a generous donation to help cover her lifelong care may help.
