Local Pets Available For Adoption

BRICK – Meet Sal, a sweet and affectionate blind cat who is searching for his forever home. Despite his visual impairment, Sal is a confident and adventurous cat who loves to explore and play. He has a gentle and loving personality, and he enjoys cuddling up with his human companions for naps and snuggles. They are not sure if Sal was born blind, but he has adapted to his disability and navigates his surroundings with ease. He has a keen sense of smell and hearing, and he is able to find his way around using these senses. Sal is also litter-box trained and enjoys using a scratching post to keep his claws in good condition.

Sal is 9-years-old and would do best in a quiet home with a patient and understanding owner who is willing to provide him with the love and care he deserves. He may need some extra guidance when it comes to navigating new surroundings, but with a little patience and support, he will quickly become comfortable in his new environment.

If you’re looking for a furry companion who will shower you with love and affection, Sal might just be the perfect cat for you. Don’t let his blindness hold you back from giving him a chance – he has so much love to give, and he’s waiting for the right person to share it with.

You can view this pet and more at jerseyshoreanimalcenter.org. They are located at 185 Brick Boulevard and can be reached at 732-920-1600.
