American Wirehair kittens & cats in Normal, Illinois

Meet Periscope—affectionately known as Peri. Peri is a truly special boy with a heart just as beautiful as his soft, medium-length coat. He was found out in the country by a kind person who knew he deserved a safer life, especially since navigating the outdoors without sight can be so dangerous. Now safe with us, Peri has proven just how resilient and loving he is. Though Peri is blind, you’d never guess it by his spirit. He enjoys wandering around, exploring his surroundings in his own way, and seeking out attention from his people. He does well with other cats and appreciates a calm, understanding environment where he can feel secure. Because he can’t see, Peri may sometimes hiss at unfamiliar sounds or sudden movements—his way of saying, “Hey, what’s that?” But once he realizes he’s safe, he quickly melts into affection, rubbing up against you and asking for love. Peri is looking for a patient, compassionate home that will give him the time and consistency he needs to feel confident. In return, he’ll offer quiet companionship, gentle affection, and the kind of bond that only a special cat like him can give.

A PCH adoption counselor will contact potential adopters within three business days (PCH cannot guarantee any pet's availability, but we make every effort to accommodate adopters with a reply and possible alternative suggestions). Counselor and client will then have a conversation to answer questions, discuss any medical needs for the pet and determine the suitability of a match (if necessary, we may opt to put adopters in touch with foster parents). After a match is made, clients will be asked to sign our adoption agreement and pay the adoption fee online through our secure payment system *Please see our modified no-risk return policy. (below) The PCH adoption counselor will then set up a specific appointment time and location. Adopters should bring a pet carrier and leash to pick up. Adult pets will be wearing a collar. It is important that clients arrive on time, neither early nor late.
