Title: Elderly, blind & probably deaf cat gets homed!!!
Post by: emmmy_lou on March 16, 2015, 16:52:18 PM
This fella was brought into the Westgate Ark rescue last week, and after I had seen his pics online I couldn't wait to meet him when I went in for my regular Saturday morning slot  :Luv:

He is called Garibaldi, and the PDSA were going to have him PTS unless he was taken in  :'(

He is definitely blind, of unknown age, and either deaf or VERY hard of hearing cos he didn't seem to react to any noise at all! He is so sweet  :Luv:

A family came in on Saturday morning and took him home with them, they were really nice, no other cats, but one cat friendly dog who has met a lot of cats as the mum has done a lot of fostering in the past. She seemed very sensible about him having his own area and letting him settle first etc.

Just thought you lot might like to meet him too!

He is gorgeous and hope they realize that he can feel vibrations.

Before I moved I did a stint of being a cat cuddler at CP and they had a blind deaf cat and she was amazing. She could smell her food and was just learning to get around her own area and they hade made it so she could follow a side wall.

Of course she didnt need light but I did LOL

He's lovely Ems - saw his details on the Ark.  Very pleased he's been rehomed so soon and they sound ideal carers.   :)

 :Luv:  :Luv: awww he's gorgeous, so glad he's found a nice new home.

We adopted a 17 year old deaf and blind lad who was very happy with us for 5 years, he was amazing too.

I hope Garibaldi is just as happy  :)
