Hi Kathy;
 
I've got an adrenal rescue that came in 7-8 years of age, a MF, over 1.5
years ago.  She's growing fur down both ribs, a full tail, & was 95% bald
when I got her.  She's probably over 9 now, & has been on Timmy's recipe &
tonic, and still giving kisses:) You can read details on Timmy's web site,
in my sig.
 
They do need more care as they get older, including supportive diet and
suppliments, it's been my experience, but they can live longer than 5 yrs..
Timmy is almost that age now, 3 years after being totally healed from
"terminal lymphoma".
 
Good luck:)
 
Gary & the gang of fur
