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.   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 can be.   Wookie is gentle, sweet-natured, and incredibly loving. During his recovery, he formed a special bond with another foster cat named Sprinkles, a six-year-old black tuxedo long-haired cat who was healing from a facial wound of his own. The two quickly became inseparable companions, providing comfort and friendship to one another through recovery. Wookie looks to Sprinkles for companionship, playtime, and cozy cuddle sessions, and it would be a dream come true if they could find a forever home together.   Wookie deserves a family who will see him the way his foster does: not as the cat who almost lost his eyes, but as the beautiful survivor who finally got the chance to live without pain. With his soft coat, soulful expression, and affectionate personality, Wookie is ready to spend the rest of his life being cherished indoors where he belongs.   Please also refer to Sprinkles’ adoption profile if you are considering opening your home to this very special bonded friendship. There is an adoption discount for adopting these two boys together of $165.  His adoption donation is $115 and includes age-appropriate vaccines, dewormer, flea treatment, Felv/FIV testing, microchip, and neuter.
