It would be nice if he can do something for the pet. Maybe an older cat that still likes to play with toys ( so your Dad can watch and enjoy) but one that will sit and listen to stories of days gone by.
Wish you luck in finding the right pet. Please keep us posted.
What I would do is purchase the automatic food and water dispenser. Simply fill the dispenser with dry cat food on one side and water on the other side. It will then refill the bowls itself and they only have to be refilled every few days to a week depending on the size you buy and the amount the cat consumes. It has also been my experience that it's less pleasant to clean the litter box of a cat that eats canned food. I've given my cats canned in the past, and trust me, nothing but dry stuff now.
