TENNESSEE ADOPTION ONLY...NO TRANSPORT

Meet Galileo: A Special Cat in Need of a Loving Home
Galileo is a charming and affectionate cat who joined us in January after the unfortunate passing of his previous owner in November. His journey to us was marked by resilience and survival, having been discovered by a neighbor in a home filled with other animals, devoid of food and water. Despite these challenging beginnings, Galileo is now thriving and ready to find his forever home.

Galileo's Story
After a few days in our care, we noticed that Galileo seemed to have trouble with his eyesight. A visit to the veterinarian confirmed our suspicions: Galileo is blind. The cause of his blindness remains a mystery, and it may never be determined. Nevertheless, Galileo is a healthy cat full of life and energy.

Special Needs and Requirements
Due to his blindness, Galileo requires a special home with an owner who is experienced in caring for cats with similar needs. He is incredibly sweet, loving, and intelligent, and he deserves a home where he can feel safe and comfortable. Although he gets along with other cats, we believe he might thrive best as the only cat in the household. However, we are open to considering different home settings on a case-by-case basis.

What Galileo Loves
Galileo has his own unique preferences and loves that bring him joy. Here are some of his favorite activities:

Drinking from his fountain: Galileo enjoys the sound and feel of running water and takes great pleasure in drinking from his fountain.

Playing with enrichment toys: Despite his blindness, Galileo is playful and loves interacting with toys that stimulate his senses.

He has been neutered, microchipped, and up to date on his vaccines. We are committed to finding the perfect match for Galileo and will carefully review potential adopters to ensure they meet his needs. If you believe your home could be the loving and nurturing environment Galileo needs, we would love to hear from you. Adopting Galileo not only means providing him with a home but also welcoming a loyal and loving companion into your life.
