Question by Patti: Are Seniors that own dogs or other pets less depressed than those who don’t own pets?
I think when a person has someone to care for it is very healthy mentally and physically too.

Best answer:

Answer by maxmom
That’s what the studies say, and it makes sense.

Pets are good company. My elderly father was going downhill mentally and physically until he got a dog. Because of the dog, he goes for walks every day (the dog loves walks). He has company if he wants to go sit in the park or hang out on his porch.

Our conversations used to be all about his aches and pains. Now they are all about the dog and the things they do together.

My dad is much more alert and happy.

UPPER VALLEY – “I’d be very lonely without my cats, I’d be very lonely,” said Eva Butler. 80-year-old Eva Butler has 3 cats to keep her company, but she is having a hard time paying for their care. “During that China food scare… Two of my cats got very sick,” said Butler. That’s why the Upper Valley Humane Society has been helping her pay for special cat food because Eva’s cats have severe kidney problems from China’s contaminated cat food. “Without her help, I couldn’t do it, because I’m on a fixed income,” said Butler. And Eva isn’t the only senior in need of help. “A lot of older people are abandoning their pets. I guess they’re becoming a burden on them, and that’s sad,” said Butler. And it isn’t because seniors are being neglectful. Eva inherited her cats when her 2 sons passed away. All three of Eva’s cats are spade and neutered. “It’s such a comfort to have those dear sweet things there,” said Butler. It’s sort of been a mixed blessing. “if anyone would like to help donate to help seniors pet, please get in touch with Andy,” said Butler. You can reach Andy with the Humane Society at this phone number: (208) 681-4788.

Question by lizard S: Seniors and pets non-profit org?
My mom and I have been thinking about starting an organization for senior citizens that own pets. There are tons of health benefits like people that own pets live longer and have fewer hospitalizations. I have lots of research papers that prove this.

I know a lot of people don’t get a dog because they can’t afford it and they are afraid of what will happen to it once they pass away.

I want to start an origination to help seniors in my community afford the basics of pet care (vaccinations, food, spay and neuter, grooming, training etc) and provide adoptions if the person passes away.

I am trying to get a feel to see if people think this is a good idea. Please tell me what you think before I start working on corporate sponsorship.
I am thinking of more like bi-monthly fairs were people could bring in the pets for all these things and have small classes to teach the seniors.

Question by geiniusbobiknow: Why cut Seniors Medi-Care and also try to force Them off of Traditional Medi-Care?
All the Senators know that Medicare money is being used for many pet projects, but, why be two-faced about it and cut the benefits to individuals.?

Best answer:

Answer by catrionn
Because conservatives hate spending money on anything that actually helps people. The worst conservatives are hoping that, if sick people can’t get health care, they’ll just die and no longer be a “burden” on society.

I know that your local animal control can recommend you to a vet that has such financial programs or even help you out with a waver from the state.

I hope you can find the assistance you need.
