Upon arrival at Haven, Angel was literally a broken cat. Probably hit by a car.
Her jaw was broken and she had severe injuries to her eyes. Her jaw healed well and is fine now. Her eyes were not.
Angel is blind.
We estimate Angel to be about 4 years old. She was an adult when she came to Haven. And so also when she went blind. Angel has a hard time with that. She is 'shy'. A 'no-touching cat'.
That is not absolute. – Koky, the manager of Haven, can sometimes, if she can take the time, gently pet her a little.
This makes Koky believe that with an adopter who is patient and can gain Angel's trust, there is potential to make her lose her shyness.
Can Angel become a cuddle cat? Possibly. – But that is not something to promise. With love and patience, much is possible.
An adopter must be able to accept Angel as being 'shy'. What will certainly help is never to forget that a blind cat is blind.
With a sighted cat you can see directly from the eyes whether it has seen you. Whether it is awake. – With a blind cat it is much more subtle to see whether it is awake or not.
Waking up a sleeping cat and startling it by touching it is not a good way to gain trust. For any cat.
Angel gets along well with other cats and dogs. It is with people that she is on her guard.
Angel doesn't like dry food. She eats wet. She is a fan of chicken and tuna.
Like all Haven cats, Angel has received her basic vaccinations and her rabies vaccine. Deworming and flea treatment. She is microchipped and sterilized. And is litter box trained.
Also standard with all SHE cats;
They came from the evil dangerous world to Haven. When they are adopted it is not to be put back into danger. SHE cats must either be indoor cats or only allowed outside in a secure environment.
We do not want the adopted cat to roam around in the adopter's neighborhood. Not even if 'It's very quiet here, hardly any cars pass by'.
So. – Who wants to give Angel a home? Will you consider this? Check out our adoption procedure. And don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions. Seriously. Everyone involved is doing this for the cats' well-being. You're not going to interrupt.
Doesn’t a cat like Angel fit into your life right now? Maybe someone else you know does? – Sharing this post is caring!
