It feels like it sometimes but
no. I run a small rescue. We average around 150
adoptions a year and have the cats in various foster
homes. Here's our petfinder site:

I usually take older kittens, teenagers and adults at my
house. Some seniors and special needs types too.
The foster homes are usually more into the tiny kittens.
I do wind up sanctuarying some of the harder to place cats,
or at the very least fostering them for a long time till the
right home is found. I've had some for 12-18 months
before they were adopted. I also have a weakness for
Siamese and will take more risks with older feral or
undersocialized Siamese. May take a year to tame them
for adoption but, hey, they're gorgous and eventually I do
manage to place them.
Our senior girl who just passed away from a grey and white
tuxedo who had been with us 9 years. She showed up 9
years ago, starving and hugely pregnant. We took her
in and kept her. She was at least 15 on Monday when
she went to the bridge, possibly older. I know we did
right by her all the years that she was with us and I'm glad
she was here so long. Gave her plenty of time to
forget her former life that had left her in such bad straits
by the time she found us.
