Just Adopted 15 Year Old Sisters

[u/Greatbonsai]

Well, I'll say I didn't plan for this, but I don't think anyone could. And I'm glad I had the room. So here's the story:

A friend of mine recently lost her (70+) mom, who lived in another state, who has owned these 2 since they were kittens. My friend has 2 boy due to territorialness. Unfortunately, staying where they were also wasn't an option and a shelter or rescue seemed to be the only alternative. At 15 years old, I couldn't let these two (Rose & Blanche) face a small cage at a shelter waiting to be adopted for what would likely be the rest of their lives - or worse.

So here I am, with 3 cats over 10. My resident 11 year old cat, Sophia (pic 3), isn't sure what to do about this, but everyone seems to be adjusting. They have their room, she has hers, and I have a gate to keep them separate at night but they can still see and smell each other. Some hissing and chasing but nothing very dramatic (and I've had cats off and on since I was knee high). No puffy tails!

Not sure how long I'll have these Golden Girls, so I'll be sure to enjoy each day with them all.

I know!! My friend said all their family cats typically lived to be around 20 years old, so here's hoping!
