Philadelphia, PA – On May 16, the Pennsylvania SPCA posted a photo of a beautiful senior cat named Parsnip, explaining to Facebook followers that she had been waiting for a home for more than a year.

The animal welfare agency said that Parsnip has had little interest during her stay, despite her big heart. They write:

When walking by her kennel, it’s hard not to think one thing- “Poor Parsnip”.

For over a year, Parsnip has lived at our shelter. She greets every person she meets with the sweetest meows and purrs as soon as gentle hand starts petting her. She will sit in a lap for hours, simply enjoying the company.

Parsnip has some age-related maladies, but nothing too extreme for her to enjoy a real home and family:

Being almost 14 years old, she expectedly comes with senior woes. Her coat may not be the most well-kept and she can drool an impressive amount. She sometimes gets a stuffy nose and needs a special diet to keep her GI tract moving smoothly.

Given Parsnip’s advanced age, she would prefer being the only cat in the home.

Please contact the shelter directly if you are interested in giving Parsnip a home!
