My little guy!! Adopted him in August 2025 and he is just the best. When he gets treats & food sometimes he gets sooo excited that his tail poofs up like crazy lol

His name is Marcel and he’s perfect💕❤️💕❤️ I started fostering him after his double enucleation and he had a rough time healing but he’s doing great now! They said he’s a domestic shorthair but he’s gotten so fluffy the last few weeks. He’s currently about 3.5 months old so I’m thinking he’ll get fluffier as he gets bigger! I love him so much omg

The cat distribution system gave us Poppy. We were already looking for a second cat when we came across her stranded in the middle of the road. She underwent bilateral enucleation 10 days ago, and she is well on her way to recovery. Any tips on owning a blind cat?

Some pics are included of course.

Our blind Tajik kitty turned one (estimated)!

My two sweet blind boys ❤️

I posted a video of him a few days ago reacting to bird sounds with his tongue out and everyone loved it… thought I’d share another adorable picture of Eypher sticking his tongue out!! He is blind in his remaining eye. That doesn’t stop him from causing chaos though, trust me.

Their names are Mothra (grey and white) and Lamprey (orange). Moth and lamp for short.

These are Milu and Ravi, I have had them for about a year, I have never had cats who like eachother so much, they cuddle, they play, they groom eachother.

I got Milu from a shelter actually as a companion for a different cat which didn’t work out for different reasons, so I wanted to get her a friend and at the time I noticed she was very visually impaired (now pretty much fully blind) I figured a blind friend might be easier for them to get along.
So I found Ravi at a different shelter, he was only 6 months old and I was worried the age gap would be too large (as she was 4 years old at the time) but I fell in love with him and also he was in a small kennel in the shelter in quarantine (due to herpes flares) I wanted to get him out and oh did it work out!!!

They do really get along soo well, Milu is blind due to an infection with e. Cuniculi and Ravi due to herpes. Ravi only had one extremely light herpes flare in the past year, I think he is doing well. They are also incredible at navigating, Ravi does run into things constantly and also goes bathing regularly due to their catio having a small pond (he jumps in accidentally but it doesn’t reach his stomach so only his feet get wet) Milu is the opposite almost never runs into things and is very deliberate about where she steps.

Obviously I‘m biased but they are the best kitties and I never imagined they would like eachother so much!! Just wanted to share because they are so cute and I love them so much.

I‘m curious why some of your kitties are blind also, so please tell me! And how they manage and how they are doing!

I just rescued him off someones porch while doing grocery delivery. The owner was an elderly lady on oxygen. This baby had 4 other siblings without issues. I asked if I could have him and she let me. What should I know? I am going to save up to try and get him to the vet I can't really afford it right now but being with me is better than being on a dirty porch outside. His eyes seem to have healed from what originally happened to them. I have 3 other cats so he is set up in the bathroom with a little snuggly bed and his own food water and litter box until he gets a clean bill of health.

Update: His name is Radar and he has a vet appointment tomorrow! He is the sweetest boy I am already in love.

Braille will be 9 years old on May 14th. She loves to climb onto places we don’t expect her to! She is an absolute treasure. I am so happy to have had almost 9 years with my baby!!!

He’s about 20 weeks old and is up at 6am on the dot no matter what. I’ve tried keeping him up. Putting him in his room earlier. Having a late dinner. Covering the window.

If I don’t get him at exactly 6am he was crying the most distressing meows. It’s devastating lol. And he won’t stop. I’m trying to sleep train a cat lol.

Is there any way I can do anything or is he just an early morning kitty?

So happy to have him. We adopted him from the shelter. He’s just under 3 months and had his surgery last week. Has anyone had good luck with a small foam staircase for your blind kitty to get into and out of bed?

Steven is about two and a half years old and fully blind. His favorite thing to do is loaf and stare off into the distance.

I adopted him about 6 months ago after seeing his photo one morning and immediately drove to the shelter to see this sweet face in person. It was a bit of an adjustment adopting a fully blind cat, but I wouldn’t change a thing.

My little teddy bear got his first enucleation in November and while it improved his quality of life his other health problems caught up faster. He crosses the rainbow bridge today and I just wanted someone to know him. He was the perfect cat. Taakos good out here 💕

This little baby curled up on my shoulder and it was a done deal. Wasn't sure I was going to get another cat today, but I got peer pressured by some old ladies and some college students once they saw him passed out on my shoulder 😂 The shelter had named him Sugar Skull. I haven't settled on that yet. Any advise or name ideas are welcome ♥️

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. 💕💕

Shadow has never had a problem with that ;)

Our new boy sends his greetings to all his fellow friends!

Our deaf 16/17 year old cat just went blind from hyperthyroidism. It took the vet a while to diagnose due to inconsistent labs, but she is now medicated for it. Because of her age and because it took so long to diagnose, we don’t think her vision will return.

I am not sure how we can encourage her to move around a bit more… it is making me so sad. She ventures out of the “cat room” early in the morning around breakfast time, but otherwise stays on her couch where she has cozy sleepy spots, a window for sunbathing. She does leave to use the litter box and to get water, but otherwise spends the entire day and night on this couch. She also meows (longer, mournful meows) much more- sometimes for hours at a time. She also does this at night which has been rough on my sleep scheduled.

Just looking for any advice here - I want to make sure it is humane that we are keeping her around, and how to make her feel loved and comfortable / brave enough to explore.

Blind stray looking for forever home: York, UK England

This sweet boy gingey boy Gerald is looking for his forever home. I rescued him 5 days ago when I came across him walking in circles unsure of where he was, we discovered he’s been a stray for 7 years (A woman and her neighbor was looking after him in their gardens for that amount of time). He is an elderly cat, we’re unsure of his exact age. He is also blind as of recently so he is slowly adjusting to his surroundings and will need to readjust once he’s in his new home, he’s still very unsure of a littertray but we believe he’ll get there eventually! He’s started to eat now aswell, he needed surgery for dental work and xrays also. The vets are currently paying for all of his current needs to give him a better chance at being rehomed. Despite being a stray, he is very timid and friendly! He needs a home where he’ll be the only animal, he needs somebody who’s experienced with elderly cats & blind cats, he also needs somebody who understands how much patience he will need and they also understand the financial cost of adopting a blind elderly cat so they can meet his needs & upkeep he will need. He is also neutered so that wont be a worry. He HAS to be an indoor ONLY cat also!

If you are interested in this sweet boy, please give me a message so I can pass you the details of the vets he is currently at ❤️ This boy deserves his forever home and somebody who can commit their time to him, he’s definitely worth it and he has so much to give to the right person.

So I adopted this 13 week old kitten. He’s the sweetest social guy. I was just wondering if anyone has any advice on letting him get to know his surroundings.

My plan is that I have him in a larger bathroom that connects to my bedroom. I was going to keep him in the bathroom so he can memorize/decompress for about 3 days until I let him in to my bedroom so he can memorize that. (And so on and so forth about the house) I have stairs too. How should I go about that?

I’m just wondering if that sounds about right?

Also I’m trying to take it super slow because I am trying to slowly introduce my other cat to him, who is mot exactly thrilled he’s here. Doing all the treating and soon to be scent swapping.

Thank you so much for any blind kitten advice you’d like to share!
