KIOSHI

Hi! I'm KIOSHI (pronounced Kay-oh-gee) (DOB ~5/21/2023) and my story is beyond sad but it has a happy ending! I found myself at a local animal control and after being there for a while, I got sick. My eyes were removed, so I am blind. I was rescued and went to a foster home, where I quickly warmed up to my foster mom. I am a super sweet, smart, and wonderful cat-my foster mom says there are not enough words in any language to describe how great I am. I've learned to navigate my foster home well, including the short staircases and cat condos. I am pretty much a a normal cat even though I am blind (my foster mom rarely thinks of me as blind anymore because I've adapted so well. I have a specific list of needs: a home with staircases with no open railings (see picture) or balconies that I can jump onto and fall-I can't see but I can jump) that does not have a lot of obstacles (stuff on the floor, etc.). I need someone who is not gone a lot so I don't get lonely; a smaller space like a bathroom where I can learn to navigate safely before expanding my living space; a quiet home with maybe another gentle cat but no dogs or young children; someone willing to help me learn about my new space; a lap (this one is really important because I love laps and contact with my human); someone who is willing love me as much as I will love them. Needless to say, I can't ever go outside. What I bring: I have a loving and kind heart. I am great company. I eat well (both canned and dry food). I use my litter box 100%% of the time. I am gentle and love to chatter with my human, sit in her lap when she sits on the floor with me, roll around on the floor wanting to be petted, and weaving around her legs when she is standing still. I love to play and spend time at the top of a cat tree. I am as wonderful and perfect a cat as there is. I am neutered, up-to-date with vaccines, negative for Feline FIV/FeLV, dewormed, have received flea preventative, and am microchipped. My adoption fee is $150.00.
