My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Jeremiah is a blind cat, born in November of 2013. He is sweet and playful, though he can become overstimulated quickly. He should go to a quiet, predictable home without children.

Having a blind cat in your home isn't much different than a sighted cat. Some considerations for living with a blind cat:
• Keep food/water/litter box in the same place
• Don't move your furniture
• Keep your home clutter-free
• Remove/cover sharp edges and corners
• Try to avoid loud, sudden noises
• Make positive, humming noises around your cat so she knows you are there
• Speak to your cat when you enter the room and before petting or touching her
• Blind cats love to play! Anything that crinkles, crackles or makes noise is sure to be a hit
• Blind cats' other senses may become enhanced. A clean litter box is a must
• Let your cat smell visitors' hands before they touch her

Adopting a special needs cat can be one of the most rewarding things you ever do! Please consider making Jeremiah part of your family.
