While I agree that older cats have a harder time being adopted, I keep an eye on the available cats at our local no kill shelter and have noticed a number of kittens languishing, too. It must be tough times for shelters at the moment. With money tight for a lot of people, pets are just not a priority.
Live with intention. Walk to the edge. Listen hard. Practice wellness. Play with abandon. Laugh. Choose with no regret. Continue to learn. Appreciate your friends. Do what you love. Live as if this is all there is.
