People tend to think of millennials as young, trend-obsessed idealists, but Thomas the 26-year-old feline is an experienced gent who's just looking for some late-in-life care and cuddles.
His former owner surrendered him to Baltimore County Animal Services last month.
The Baltimore Sun reports that fellow millennial, Laura Cassiday, 27, of Dundalk, Maryland, was scrolling through animal shelters on Facebook last Wednesday when she saw the Baltimore County Animal Services post on behalf of Thomas.
Cassiday tells the Sun she was surprised that the elderly cat was only a year younger than herself, reading the post "three or four times to make sure it wasn't a typo."
She picked him up the next day.
"Everybody at the shelter was so excited because he had been there for a month," Cassiday, an admissions coordinator and animal care technician at Maryland SPCA, told the paper.
"I know the toll that shelters take on animals, especially senior animals."
