Elderly cats live in retirement village: See their little cottages!
Moggies Retirement Village in Shrewsbury, Shropshire, England, is a village for homeless, stray and abandoned cats. The Shropshire Cat Rescue houses 17 cats.
A 12-year-old tuxedo cat in Maine with some health issues is looking for a forever home where she can sit on laps and cuddle.
Olivia is "the sweetest, most affectionate lap cat you could ever hope to meet," said the Animal Refuge League of Greater Portland (ARLGP).
"She bonds to anyone who will give her lots of love and attention and will ask for nothing more than to purr and slow blink by your side."
Additionally, Olivia "will groom you like her own baby and sleep in bed with you every night and cuddle."

"She is very good about receiving it, as well as eating her prescription food twice a day," it added.
Olivia may also need yearly blood work to ensure that her diabetes is being managed, the shelter said.
"She is well worth the expense," the ARLGP said.
"She will make you fall in love as soon as she does her little squeaky meow when she is excited to see you and when she paws your leg when she wants more pets."
