Simon (SPECIAL NEEDS - Diabetic, one eye) - Domestic Long Hair Cat for Adoption in Fitchburg, Massachusetts

Simon: One-Eyed Diabetic TikTok Celebrity with 20K Followers Seeks a New Landing Pad

Hi, I'm THE celebrity named Simon!

I have like 20k TikTok followers that my mom kept up, which was great. I definitely did not let my stardom get to me, though.

I'm a 7 yr old domestic longhair gentleman with handsome black, brown, and white fluffy coloring,

Well, notmally.

I may have had a bit of matting when I came to Fitchburg Friends of Felines, and the vet had their celebrity stylist give me an updo, so now I am sporting a high and tight poodle cut, boots included, that lets me be stylish and look like I have an 80's haircut with a beard, like many yearbooks of that generation reveal. I am bringing the 80's back!

I do have one beautiful green eye, and a permanent wink, which when I was about a year old my sister and I had a bit of a spat, and I was on the receiving end of her lashing. I don't miss the eye. I make a great pirate for Halloween!

Speaking of holidays, I was born on St. Patrick's Day in 2019, so perhaps a little luck has been following me all along.

I recently came into rescue on short notice, as my old family simply could not handle my medical issues that I meow have, and decided it was time to let me find another home. they had called Fitchburg Friends of Felines many months before for financial assistance because I was losing weight and not feeling well and they didn't have the funds to get me to the hospital. so the rescue bought me to the vet and it turns out I was diabetic he needed insulin. Unfortunately with their lifestyle and me now a high maintenance medical kitty, they thought it would be best if they surrendered me to the rescue so I could find a home that could handle by medical issues.

Despite everything changing around me, I have been an absolute love in foster care. I'm a needy-in-the-best-way purr-bucket who wants as much affection as I can get. When I require immediate loving, I issue a loud "MEE"! Other times, whrn they are in the room with me and look at me, I respond by opening my mouth dramatically and no sound comes out. Even celebrities occasionally mime.

I love following my foster mom around like a dog and sitting next to her with my paws on her leg. I have had no issues with the other kitties from day one. they're a little slow to get used to me and they look at me and hiss but I have been through worse. I have the lack of eye to show it and I just keep passing by. After all, I am a celebrity and they are simply minions.

My family let the rescue know that I can be shy at first, but I have not shown them this side. I have been a head-butting loud when I want attention snuggle bug. from day one!

I reportedly tend to prefer women, although I have lived with men, children, cats, and dogs. Calm children and calm animals are likely to be the best match, as my current foster home has a lot of kitties but honestly I could give a crap about all of them. I just follow my human around until she sits and then I sit with her. works out great!

My ideal human or humans will be comfortable with needles, as I need a shot every 12 hours. They also need to keep my food and routine consistent, and delighted to provide the attention I very politely—either silently or loudly—request. Okay, demand. I will just follow you around until you love on me.

I've already built an online fan club. Been there, done that. Now I need the one follower who matters the most: someone who will bring me home, care for me faithfully, and love me long after the camera stops rolling.
