All Winny has ever wanted is a quiet lap to sit on.
She was adopted from Lort Smith in 2016, but sadly her owner's health declined, and she came back to us the following year. By then, at eight, she was considered a senior. She had a few lumps and bumps, and she wasn't going to be running any half marathons. But she had the sweetest heart.
In 2017, we found her the perfect match: a couple aged 95 and 86, with two of the most perfect laps.
The joy of an older pet
Older pets are often overlooked, but they have so much to give. You skip the puppy phase, so your shoes and remote controls are safer, and there's less training to worry about.
Lort Smith supports adopting rather than buying. Many puppies and kittens sold in pet shops or online come from puppy farms or backyard breeders, where profit comes before animal welfare. Adopting gives an animal a second chance, and helps reduce the number of unwanted animals in our community.
We believe people can find their perfect match at any age, and so can pets.
