My story

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

DOB: August 28th, 2023

Carlo Rossi is a very special boy that is looking for his forever home.

Despite being completely blind, he is a very outgoing, social little guy that is full of energy and life. He likes interactive, noisy toys that stimulate his other senses. He currently loves his squeaky mice and crinkly balls. He also loves to play with ribbons and wand toys. He also adores playing inside of his cat tunnel.

Carlo would thrive in a home where someone can be around most of the day to provide him with attention and stimulation. Since he can't see, he should be in a smaller space, such as an apartment, where he can easily navigate his surroundings. He needs a safe and secure environment with no stairs or potential hazards that can hurt him. His adopter should be aware that since he can't see where he's going, he will follow you around and walk right in front of your path without realizing it. He will require more patience and caution during playtime as he often misses while swatting at his toys.

Carlo can get bored easily, so he would thrive in the company of another friendly cat. However, because he is still so young and playful, he would do well with a younger cat that can match his energetic and playful temperament.

Carlo is looking for a patient and understanding owner who can accommodate his special needs. He needs someone who will provide him with love, care, and guidance as he navigates his new life.

Unfortunately Carlo required surgery to have both eyes removed when he came into our care. He may require a follow-up surgery at some point, and if that's the case, the cost of this procedure will be covered by Toronto Cat Rescue.

Additional adoption info

Adoption fee is $200 per adult cat, and $250 for kittens (under 8 months old).

This ensures that the cats that come into our care receive the attention they need, are spayed or neutered, and receive a rabies vaccination at the appropriate age. For City of Toronto residents, the adoption fee includes a mandatory City of Toronto cat license that is valid for one year. As you can imagine, these fees only begin to cover our costs; donations and ongoing fundraising efforts carry us the rest of the way!

Note:
-Senior cats (8 years or older) have an adoption fee of the adopter's choice, vs. our standard adult adoption fee of $200.
-Our adoption fee for an adult bonded pair (8 months or older) is $150 per cat vs. $200 per cat. Thanks for giving two loving friends a home together!
