My story

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

Speed — Small Pirate Energy, Gold Medal Zoomies

Speed here. Yes, I only have one eye. No, that does not slow me down. Not even a little.

I was found on the streets with a severe infection in my eye. To save my life and stop the pain, the vet had to remove it. And honestly? Best decision ever. I feel great now — and I zoom just as fast as my name suggests.

I may look like a tiny pirate, but I move through life with total confidence. I chase my wand toy like it’s an Olympic sport. Gold medal in pouncing. Silver in mid-air twists. And absolutely undefeated in toy mouse capture. I adore my little toy mouse — I pounce, grab it, and proudly carry it around like a hard-earned trophy.

When the zoomies hit, I sprint through the house at record-breaking speed, leap onto furniture with precision, and then casually perch by the window to watch the world go by — because every athlete needs recovery time.

Independent? Yes.
Spirited? Absolutely.
Entertaining? Without question.

I’m not overly clingy, but I do enjoy affection — on my terms. When I’m in the mood, I’ll hop into your lap for a cozy nap and soak up the pets. I like following my people from room to room to stay part of the action (purely for supervision purposes). At night, I’m perfectly content sleeping in my own designated spot like the self-sufficient queen I am.

I do have a slightly mischievous streak. I might grab something nearby just to see what happens. And if you catch me? I will absolutely pretend I had nothing to do with it. Who, me? Impossible.

Despite having only one eye, I navigate beautifully and live a completely normal, playful life. I don’t need special treatment — just a loving home that appreciates a confident, spirited, very sweet girl full of playful antics and personality for days.

If you’re looking for a companion who brings gold-medal energy and just the right balance of independence and affection…

I’m Speed. And I’m ready for my podium moment.

More about this rescue

Every day adult and senior cats with treatable medical and behavioral conditions are euthanized. GIVE ME SHELTER's goal is to rescue these cats from certain death and place them into loving permanent homes.
GMS is a registered 501(c)3 organization and is dedicated to helping stop the overpopulation of unwanted and abandoned cats. We are a small group of dedicated volunteers who are committed to bettering the life of adult cats who no longer have a home to call their own. Every time you adopt from us, you allow us to save another cat that would have otherwise died. We receive new cats into our system almost every week. Our website is constantly being updated, so please check back often!
