Domestic Short Hair Cats Available for Adoption in Wheaton, Illinois

Looking for a one of a kind cat? Look no further because Mariah is right here! She came to us after wandering the streets completely blind, front paw declawed and alone. Mariah is fully blind and hyperthyroid which means she'll need just a little more attention and love! She requires medication twice a day to manage her hyperthyroidism and puppy pads around her litter box. She also is FIV + but with supportive care she will continue to be a wonderful companion.

If you have room in your life for a special cat like her, she is the sweetest thing you'll ever meet. She loves to curl up and relax next to you. She enjoys pets, napping and chin scratches. She can get around just like any other cat once she's used to her environment, she might just need a little help jumping up places.
