Hey there! First off, big respect to you for caring so much about your senior cats - they need that extra love. 😺
Lysine is a great start, especially for immune support, but there are definitely a few more things that can help older cats feel their best:
✅ Joint supplements – Glucosamine & Chondroitin are really helpful for mobility. Look for ones made specifically for cats.
✅ Omega-3s (fish oil) – These help reduce inflammation and support skin, coat, and joints.
✅ Probiotics – Gut health declines with age, so adding a good pet probiotic can make a big difference in digestion and energy.
✅ Senior-specific food – Some brands make formulas with lower phosphorus (great for kidney support), easier-to-digest proteins, and added vitamins.
If you're looking for high-quality senior cat products, I put together a guide that might help:

Hope that helps and wishing your senior crew lots of health and purrs! 🐾

Just wondering how other shelters take are of their senior cats. We have about 15-20 senior cats that are getting up there in age and I want to know what others are using as far as supplements or any additives that would help them. We currently just use Lysine powder in their food but I feel like we could be doing a little more for them.
Thank you all in advance!
