My story

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

Meet Edith — a very special senior lady with the gentlest soul. Edith came to us after being found lost in someone’s barn, and while we don’t know her full story, we do know she deserves a peaceful, loving ending to her journey.

Edith is blind in both eyes, but that doesn’t stop her from feeling safe and comforted by kind voices and gentle touches. She navigates slowly and carefully, relying on consistency and her other senses to understand the world around her. Once she knows where she is, she settles in beautifully.

Most importantly, Edith is incredibly sweet. She enjoys soft pets, warm blankets, and quiet companionship. She’s not asking for much — just a calm home with someone patient and compassionate who understands that a blind kitty needs a stable environment and a little extra care.

Senior cats like Edith have so much love left to give. She may not see you, but she will absolutely know who you are by your kindness.

If you have room in your heart for a fragile, loving soul who simply needs comfort and safety, Edith is waiting.
