Some low-maintenance pets that are suitable for seniors include:
-
Fish: Fish tanks require regular feeding and water changes, but they are relatively low-maintenance compared to other pets.
-
Birds: Birds like canaries or finches are relatively easy to care for and provide companionship without requiring extensive exercise or grooming.
-
Cats: Adult cats are generally independent and low-maintenance, requiring less attention and exercise than dogs.
-
Small rodents: Animals like hamsters, gerbils, or guinea pigs are small, quiet, and don't require a lot of space or exercise.
These pets can provide companionship and joy to seniors without requiring too much physical exertion or caregiving.
