I would adopt any age. We got kittens last year as the dogs had not had live in cats before. Thought it would be easier on the dogs & kittens as opposed to older cat that may have been scared or traumatised to come into house with large dogs |

Any age for us is adoptable  Its just a feeling you get when you are looking at the cats. If it feels right to adopt an older cat, then we would definitely go through with it  |

Kittens are adorable, but really too lively for an older person with limited mobility; an older cat's personality is formed already, so it's just a case of the two of you adjusting to one another. Also, the older cat is more likely to be settled, more of a house cat/lap cat (hopefully!) A really active demanding cat isn't the best choice for a senior citizen IMO ...... Not that I wouldn't love a kitten or teenage cat, but have to be practical and consider limits ..... |

i must admit, we wanted a younger cat to adopt because i had never had a cat before. Harris was younger than we were originally looking for. The age of Skye was perfect for bringingher into the house because of how old harris was |

I would certainly consider all age groups. Choice would depend on my circumstances at the time and the cat in question. Kizzy was between 1 - 2 years when I adopted her. I really couldn't imagine being without her. |

I would consider any age, but trend to go for mature cats as rescue centres find them harder to rehome, kittens tend to find homes more easily. |

I think I may have misread the intent of this poll. It sounds to me as if most people are responding to the need of a cat for a home as if it were a waif/stray that turned up at the door. . I took it to mean if you were going to the shelter, what age cat would you have in mind; knowing you can't possibly take them all home! I'd never turn away a little cat who appeared needing a home either. But picking a new companion, age would be a factor in the decision. |

I wanted a kitten when we got Denis, however now I would only get an older cat as Eileen said kittens are too hard as you get older....but if one came knocking at my door I wouldnt turn it away |
