1. A case of lickable cat treats because if your fussy fur child has been purposely avoiding the food that contains her daily medication, these treats will make sure the bowl comes back clean.
Promising review: "My cat is 18 years old and a very fussy eater. There are plenty of times when she will only lick the gravy from a can of cat food and not touch the meat. So when Lil' Soups came out, I thought they would be perfect for her if only she liked them. Well, I didn't have to worry, because she goes nuts for these! This was the first time I tried the Skipjack Tuna flavor (senior formula), and she loves it. There is nothing left in her bowl. It is completely clean." —Cherokee
Price: $7.87+ (available in three sizes)
2. A senior cat litter box that sits low and is easy to climb into so your little purrince feels independent enough to go to the potty all on his own.
3. A stainless steel cat fountain so your ol' friend can drink, play, and wash her paws to her heart's content. Plus, you can also control the fountain's water flow, keeping puddles to a minimum. Score!
Promising review: "My cat was causing a wet mess splashing around in his water bowl since he insisted on drinking moving water. He is drinking constantly out of this bowl now, and not splashing his dirty little paws in it! It’s also large enough for my German Shepherd to drink out of, so everyone is happy."—cmski
Price: $69.95 (originally $99.99)
4. A soft-sided carrier bag — which is also roomy and spacious — so your senior won't be giving you major cattitude once it's time for their checkup. And if your cat has aching joints, not to worry; this carrier's soft Sherpa lining will keep their tush comfortable throughout the car ride.
Promising review: "Our three babies absolutely love these carriers. So much so we leave them out and open because they love playing and napping in them. Plenty of room for them to lay all the way down and still move around. Easy to use and carry as well." —3xRescueMom
Price: $14.89 (originally $54.99)
5. A lounge scratcher with catnip so your senior sweetie will be feline good whether she's snoozing, scratching, or playing. Pro tip: If you have Maine Coon or Ragdoll, make sure you have three of these scratchers on hand. That way, your girl feels like the queen that she is.
Promising review: "I've had this out for a few days, and it's been great so far. When I bought it, I didn't think it would actually be used as a lounger, but he loves to lay all over it. It's kind of like his home base — he attends to his cat business, does a quick scratch and lounge, then goes back to important cat matters and repeats." —Alana
Price: $5.86+ (originally $9.99+; available in two colors)
6. A pack of squeezable cat treats that are so flavorful, your picky kitty will be begging you for more. PS: Since you'll be hand-feeding your elder these treats, you'll never have to ask Google if cats see their humans as slaves again.
7. A pair of pet steps to help your senior get to your bed, reach the bathroom sink, or reach the cat tree that sits in front of the main window. These steps are also sturdy and reliable, so you won't have to worry about any trips or falls on the way up.
Promising review: "This was purchased for my older cat Soli. She is having a hard time jumping up on the bed. It was easy to put together, and I love the different options of how to utilize the towers and platforms. I actually did not use the top tower, and I find her napping on the top platform often. Soli definitely recommends these steps for any fur child." —MamaD
Price: $39.99 (originally $44.99)
8. A thermal self-heated cat bed, so you not only achieve your personal goal of saving money on heat, but you'll also keep your fur baby's buns warm all winter long.
Promising review: "My older cat loves that her basket bed is now lined with this pad. She now sleeps the whole night in HER bed. She cuddles with me, and then off to her bed she goes. I also have the larger pad in her travel box, which stays on the protected patio for outside time naps."—Chechesmom
Price: $16.46+ (available in two sizes)
9. An orthopedic pet bed, perfect if you've tried bed after bed to please Miss Kittylocks. This cozy bed will definitely have her sleeping juuuust right.
Promising review: "My cats NEVER like the cat beds I buy them. I buy them cute, or expensive, or elegant, or cuddly...no winners. They ignore the beds and sleep next to them. Until this Frisco Ortho! I am very happily surprised that both cats sleep in it! And it looks really expensive, even goes with my decor. Win-Win (except I'm probably going to have to buy a second one for my other cat)!"— braven
Price: $39.99+ (available in two colors and three sizes)
10. A cat wobbler treat dispenser toy for helping your old-timer get their exercise and, of course, some tasty treats to enjoy.
Promising review: "My cat has so much fun with this! At first, I thought it would be too big for him, yeah, but he quickly figured it out. It's nice to be able to put that many treats there and not have to remember to fill it in on almost a daily basis like my last cat treat toy." —Lorelei5202
Price: $19.99
11. A slicker brush for cats — which self-cleans thanks to retractable pins — for making grooming fast and painless, so you have more time for head-scratchies, belly rubs, and hide-and-seek.
Promising review: "This brush is genuinely the best. Not only does it allow you to fully remove all of the hair from the brush with the push of a button, but it actually picks up a LOT of hair! My old brush was average at actually picking up hair. I can’t explain why, but my cat actually loves this brush, and he always used to run away from the old one. Now, he walks over to where I keep the brush and will meow when he wants to be brushed. This brush is so good that I bought one for my aunt’s cat, and it’s come up in casual conversation with friends. Buy the brush — you won’t regret it." —Mariya
Price: $13.41 (originally $14.99)
12. A senior cat tower because if your rescue loves to people-watch — or sunbathe — from the living room window, he'll be able to reach the top of it in four steps.
13. A bag of unscented non-clumping crystal cat litter that keeps muddy paws caused by clumps, controlling odors, and waste at bay.
Promising review: "My diabetic cat LOVES this litter! He visits three litter boxes and has no trouble using this light, effective litter mixed with a little Dr. Elsey's Classic clay litter. It is also lighter for me to carry upstairs from the basement, where I scrub and refill his litter boxes." —Kath
Price: $19.49
14. A tower of tracks cat toy that provides hours' worth of fun, so you can finally get Mr. Sleepycat to get out of his bed for once.
15. A play rings cat toy your cat can slide, flip, bite, or carry — because if your senior has suddenly become active at night, these toys will definitely tire her out 'til she's panting and ready for bed when you are.
16. Senior multivitamin chews that are soft on teeth and jam-packed with vitamins and minerals, and also taste like cat treats — your finicky feline won't be able to tell the difference.
17. A calming diffuser for cats — which mimics a cat's natural facial pheromones — so if you are bringing home an anxious senior from the shelter, they can start to open up and become a beloved member of your fur tribe.
Promising review: "It doesn't happen every time, but when we have a new foster cat join us, sometimes there can be some turmoil. It is always minor, but once we get out these diffusers and plug them in where the cats are most social, it calms everyone down!! We stand by this product." —FosterCatHouse
Price: $24.99 (originally $29.99)
18. A dental water additive for breath freshening because if brushing your cat's teeth is a venture into dangerous territory, this will suffice as the much safer alternative.
19. A silicone dog and cat mat if your senior kitty is a messy eater and you want to cut down on wet food, kibble, and water spills. The even better news is that this mat is completely dishwasher-safe, so if hairballs or puke suddenly strike, you won't even have to grab a sponge.
Promising review: "I bought this to place under the cat water fountain because they like to dip their paws in the water and shake them off as they clean. I bought the large one, and I’m glad I did because there is water all over it! It works just fine for my needs."—CatMom
Price: $10.80+ (available in two sizes and two colors)
20. Annnd a large-sized mat for cat litter and liquid messes because if your furry loved one has trouble making it to the bathroom on time, rest assured that this mat will soak up her messes and can be easily rinsed off afterward.
