Wookie

Description

  Wookie is a stunning orange-and-white long-haired boy with a fluffy coat and an even fluffier heart. Born approximately March 16, 2025, Wookie came from an outdoor colony and was rescued on March 20, 2026, just in time to change the course of his life forever.  Wookie appeared to be blind when he was rescued from the outdoors., He kept his eyes clenched closed.    When Wookie first went in to be neutered, veterinarians feared the worst and believed he might be blind, even recommending removal of his eyes. Thankfully, his foster and rescue pursued further evaluation with a veterinary eye specialist before making such a life-altering decision. The specialist discovered that Wookie was not blind at all — he simply has unusually small eyeballs, and his eyelashes were folding inward against his corneas, causing severe pain and irritation. Despite everything he endured, Wookie still had normal vision.   On April 21, 2026, Wookie underwent entropion surgery to correct his eyelids and relieve the constant discomfort he had likely lived with his entire life. Since surgery, he has absolutely blossomed. Now able to see comfortably and clearly, Wookie is thriving and discovering just how wonderful indoor life and sight can be!   Wookie is a little shy, gentle, docile , sweet-natured. He gets along well with other cats and is playful and likes to wrestle. He likes play in the evening which is his favorite time to be active.  He really enjoys watching birds and following the laser  light.  Wookie might be overstimulated in a loud or busy home. He will blossom in a calm household. He has long, soft fur and may require regular brushing to keep his fur free of tangles.    His adoption donation is $115 and includes age-appropriate vaccines, dewormer, flea treatment, Felv/FIV testing, microchip, and neuter.
