What Is a Retiree?
A retiree is an adult cat that has finished its time in a breeding program and has been spayed or neutered. When you adopt a retiree, you already know their personality: they might be a cuddly lap cat or a more independent companion.
Why Does a Breeder Retire Their Cats?
There are many reasons a cat is retired. Here are a few:
Breeding goals are reached
A cat is retired once it has contributed to the breeding program as planned.
Health reasons
A cat can be retired at any age if a health concern is found. A responsible breeder retires the cat right away.
Temperament or stress
Some cats simply prefer a quiet home. Once retired, they usually relax and thrive as a family pet.

- Their personality is already known
- The kitten stage is over and they are calm and settled
