A girl brought Vasyatka to the animal shelter and asked for help. She thought the kitty was blind, but after a check-up, it turned out that one of his eyes can see, although only shadows, while the other could not be saved.

Affectionate and cautious, yet quite ordinary overall

Vasyatka arrived at the shelter in a terrible state of stress, hissing and lunging at people. Over time, he realized that no one was attacking him or intending to harm him. Then he relaxed, began to seek affection, and would roll over to have his belly scratched.

Vasyatka can only see shadows, but even complete blindness is not a death sentence for an animal. Blind cats can lead active lives, play, socialize, and they are great at navigating their environment. In every other respect, Vasyatka is just an ordinary cat – whiskered, striped, plump, and very affectionate. He is a bit of a scaredy-cat, so his new owners need to be prepared for the fact that he will need time and support to adapt. But the outcome is worth it – they will gain a gentle and loyal friend.

Support Vasyatka in his search for a home

Such cats can stay in shelters longer than others, because only a rare person with a big heart will not be afraid to offer Vasyatka the care and comfort of a home. Share Vasyatka’s story on social media or sponsor an ad for him so that more people in Sochi hear about him – this way, he can find a forever home sooner. If you gift him a Kitty Day or Kitty Month, it will also greatly help Vasyatka – with that money, the shelter will buy food and litter for him.
