Willy - American Shorthair Cat for Adoption in New York, New York

Willy’s first chapters are a bit of a mystery — but we’re so glad we know this incredibly special little lady now, and we can’t wait for her to find someone to share her next chapter with.

So we don’t know much about her history. We’re not even sure how old she is — at least 6, probably. Here’s what we do know: Willy is partially blind, petite, and uncommonly sweet. When she was rescued, glaucoma had caused a severely enlarged eye that needed to be removed. The pressure must have caused her immense pain, but she nonetheless was affectionate and social from day one, flopping over for pets and butt scratches. Winning hearts from the jump.

Willy is a gentle soul with a calming presence that animals and humans alike can’t get enough of. The good news: blind cats don’t require special care. Willy just needs a predictable home layout she can map out and commit to memory. That’s it. Oh, and she doesn’t like being snuck up on. As long as other pets are polite to her and don’t treat her like prey, she’s fabulous.

She has hyperthyroidism, which does require daily medication — and she is, characteristically, an angel about taking it. She has many years or purring and napping in the sun with you!
