16. You might consider a senior cat when you're ready

So many seniors languish in shelters because people want younger cats.

You could also ask your local shelter about fostering an older cat; that usually means that the shelter/facility will pay medical bills and can take the cat back if the worst happens.

Many shelters have steep discounts for seniors who adopt seniors.

I'm very sorry for your loss.
