This is an adopted<\/a> cat<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

He is a blind boy.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

His name is Sir Drake. He is about 4 years old.
He came to us in August 2023.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

He was found by a friend after being hit by a car and she had to take him to the vet to save his life.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

He did not lose his life, but unfortunately he did lose his sight.
The eyes are still there but the accident has affected his sight and nerves so he can't see. And if he can see then only shadows.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When he was rescued he also had a broken jaw and they repaired it.
He is a little nervous. He is not wild but he needs someone who will not touch him suddenly.
We touch him and he likes it when we do this, but not suddenly.
He's a big boy.
He is okay with other cats and dogs, no problem at all.<\/em> (*)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sir Drake has now found safety in Haven. It is therefore an absolute requirement that he will have that in his adoptive family. He must be an indoor cat. With attention to his safety in the home, such as window security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In itself there is nothing wrong with him going outside as long as there is a guarantee of safety. Just as he can now safely go outside in the closed outdoor areas of Haven.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Like all SHE cats he has received his basic vaccinations and rabies. He is microchipped. He has been dewormed and flea treated. Sir Drake has also been sterilized and is litter box trained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t let the fact that he\u2019s blind stop you. Sir Drake went blind as an adult and it was a big shock to him. Many cats \u2013 at least in Haven \u2013 have lost their sight. And they\u2019re adapting. Surprisingly well. \u2013 It\u2019ll be okay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Can you imagine giving this big boy who has been through so much a safe home and a place in your heart? Then take a look at our adoption procedure.<\/a> \u2013 And please, don't hesitate to contact us<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Isn\u2019t now the time in your life to take on such a responsibility? Maybe you know someone else who would be a good match for Salam? \u2013 Sharing is sweet!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
