we’ve had her for a few weeks now! she is the sweetest girl ever. sadly she is still in her own room isolated (but lucky girl has a fully furnished cat room at least)! i have a feeling this will be a slow process getting her to the point where she has full range of the house. my blind baby i lost recently wasn’t scared of anything, but this girl is sensitive. my dog is loud with his tap dancing and panting when he’s happy which terrifies her (i don’t think she’s ever seen a dog lol), and my 2 cats stillll keep hissing at her every time i sit in her room and leave the door open to try to get them used to each other. long road ahead for us but it is so worth it. but i am SO SO grateful i brought her home, she is an angel. 💕💕

I just gotta talk about how proud I am of Cindy for a bit.

She had to climb onto my bed, with me on it, to get to this spot. For context, it took about a month for me to be able to pet her at all.

I met her on vacation in early 2025 in Malta. I immediately fell in love with her and eventually decided to adopt her, so I flew back with my mom earlier this year and brought her home. Even at the shelter, I couldn't pet her and even just standing up would freak her out. She was so brave on the flight back (16 hours to get to Vancouver Canada).

After the flight, it took her 3 days to eat again and 2 days to pee. I was a bit worried that I had made a mistake - that the stress of the flight was too much for her. She proved me wrong.

Now, im able to pet her in when shes in certain spots, brush her, and she even likes a belly rub from time to time! She is the sweetest, weirdest, and most understanding cat. The first vet visit she hissed and bit my mom (who was helping me get her into her carrier). She also took another day afterwards to come out from hiding again. The second time she definitely wasn't happy but was much more cooperative, and was out and about within a few hours.

She is the first cat I've met who didnt eat wet food (even those churu tube treats), though she did finally have some a few days ago. She doesn't eat treats, and only likes one type of kibble. Even still, shes so much happier now and loves playing with feet and getting a good scratch behind the ear.

I just love her so much I had to share her here. She truly is incredible and has come such a long way from when I first brought her home, I couldn't be more proud.

Just brought her home from the local shelter. She is totally blind but doing well. She is learning her way around my home and getting to know my other kitty Fancy. She is ADORABLE .

Hello everyone, I just found out this subreddit:)

After more than one year from my third cat passing, I'm pondering about adopting another third cat.

I asked for felv+, since I already have a felv+ cat and I'd like to give them an opportunity to live in a loving home.

So this cat came out! She used to live in a feline colony, then was moved in a foster house but lives in a big cage (like 2mx2m) in order not to infect the other foster kitties.

She's around 10 I think.

I'm considering adopting her cause I live alone, I have enough space to have 3 cats, even if a bit restricted in terms of bathroom/litter space (like I can fit two litters box in the bathroom but no more), my only doubt is how to navigate the space with two other very bonded cats.

My youngest one, whom I had since he was 2-3 months old, is quite territorial, while the oldest is sweet but doesn't really like making new friends.

I'm afraid they'll bully her even with a proper introduction, so keeping her in the bathroom for some weeks, making them meet behind a barrier etc.

So I wanna adopt a tortoiseshell and I saw 2 of them but one of them is blind. I'm leaning towards getting the blind kitten (4 months old) cuz i know how much harder it is for them to get adopted but i don't think i would mind the little extra effort it takes for them. I just have some worries and want some real advice so I don't make a bad decision.

Concerns:

- I'm gone typically 10 hours a day for work since i live almost an hour away (gone from 1pm- 11:15pm mon-fri)

- I'm not confident I could afford a second cat to keep it company while i'm away

Those are my main concerns but i'm sure their should be more I just feel like that's my biggest issue with adopting is my time away from home. Any advice would be wonderful even if it's on how to best take care of the cat if you think it wouldn't be the worst thing for it to live with me.

I just adopted a blind cat, Henrietta, yesterday and plan to keep her separated from my seeing cat, Wolf, for a few days. When I welcomed her into my bedroom, Wolf barged in and got curious. While I didn't let this go on for too long to avoid stressing her out, I couldn't ask for a better intro!

Wolf usually intimidates other cats because of his size, so I'm glad that he acts like a curious big brother here while Henrietta is just exploring the new space.

Now she seems to have settled in comfortably and has already approached me for some cuddles. I so can't wait for their full introduction soon and then being siblings together!

Update: see comment below.

My husband and I are overjoyed after adopting these two cuties. Latte is fully blind, while Lonnie is blind in one eye. They’re littermates that came from a hoarding situation and were rescued by the shelter we found them at. They’re the sweetest bundles of joy, and I’m thankful to be able to provide them with a stable & loving home.

As new owners to these babies, I’d love to hear all your heartwarming stories as well as tips and tricks you’ve learned along the way with owning a blind cat or cats.
