Each of our resident cats, aka Suncatchers, are special and unique in their own way. They sparkle our day and hope it does the same for you.
Cece
female, 2 years old, blind
Cece was found as a kitten and rescued. She was born with Microphthalmia, a condition in which her eyes were underdeveloped. Don't be fooled because she can navigate REALLY well that you sometimes forget she is blind. Cece loves to play, lounge on high places, and follow whoever is eating. No matter how quiet you may try to be, there is no fooling this girl. She is very affectionate and often the greeter of our sanctuary.

Orion
male, 2 years old, paralyzed
Orion came to the shelter as a wee little kitten after he was found being attacked by loose dogs which caused his paralysis. However, he is the fastest runner in our sanctuary! He loves to play and has a talent to turn any object into a toy. Orion is a bashful gentleman and can pull off any color or pattern of diaper that he wears.

Kona
female, 6 months, cerebellar hypoplasia
Kona was found next to a hotel wobbly and unable to pick herself up to walk. She was taken to the vet the next day and our vet confirmed that she has Cerebellar Hypoplasia, a condition in which the cerebellum of the brain that controls balance and motor skills are not developed properly. X-rays revealed that she also has two fractures in the hind legs that are in the process of self-healing. Despite the conditions, she is gaining strength each day and has the purest soul.

Stevie (bonded with Helen) Adopt me!
male, 8 months, blind
Stevie and Helen were found on the streets with their littermates. A rescue in Yuma, AZ took them in and noticed that Stevie and Helen were not behaving the same way as their littermates. They found out that they are visually impaired. That doesn't stop them from being the most playful kittens in our sanctuary! Stevie will literally sprint and follow you wherever you go.

Nirvana Adopt me!
male, 9 months, cerebellar hypoplasia + deaf
Nirvana was found on the streets of Kuwait as a stray with a gash on his back and Kuwait Animal Aid took him in. His back has fully healed but they also noticed that he has mild CH and is completely deaf. Despite his disabilities, he is capable of doing everything on his own without assistance. Nirvana has a BIG personality and has the energy of a puppy. He is playful, comical, and best of all- cuddly. Because of his high activity level, he may do best in a household as the only cat. Don't worry- he will keep both himself and you entertained!

Rolo Adopt me!
male, 4 months, blind in one eye + abnormal gait
Rolo was a medical pull from the Humane Society. He had an eye issue that needed to be resolved and an abnormal gait on his rear right leg which is most likely a result from an injury at birth. Rolo is the complete package- he is good around people, dogs, and is playful with all of the cats. Our vet told us that his eye does not require a removal and you can barely notice the previous injury on his leg. He is labeled as a "special needs" kitten but he really does not require extra attention due to his medical history. Rolo is just the perfect kitten with a unique look!
Rolo was a medical pull from the Humane Society. He had an eye issue that needed to be resolved and an abnormal gait on his rear right limb. He is currently pending neuter and eye surgery until he is at the proper weight. Otherwise, he is a friendly, very playful kitten that gets along with all of the adult cats around him. He loves to cuddle with any cat that allows him to but his bff is Kona.
Phoenix
female, 1 year, paralyzed
Phoenix was found on the streets of Kuwait dragging her back legs as a kitten. Luckily, she was saved by Kuwait Animal Aid and made her journey here. Phoenix is mostly sweet with a sprinkle of spiciness. She was bffs with Cloud, who has unfortunately crossed the rainbow bridge, and we are hoping she will find another bff soon.

Hope
female, 4 years old, paralyzed
Hope is originally from Kuwait but she actually came to us after spending a short time at a cat cafe in Milwaukee, WI. She was involved in an accident that left her paralyzed and Icareq8 rescued her off of the streets. Hope loves people and becomes a social butterfly when we have visitors. She has a great balance of having both a playful side and a mellow side.

Moose
male, 5 months, blind in one eye + head tilt
Moose was a medical pull from the Humane Society. He had corneal scarring on both eyes and a head tilt. He has no sight from his right eye but his left eye has since healed. Our vet gave us a few reasons of what may have caused his head tilt. Since the tilt does not affect his daily life, we decided to opt out from an MRI diagnostic which costs over a couple thousand dollars. He is curious of everything and will follow you everywhere you go. He is the cutest little love bug and we personally think that the head tilt adds to his character.

Aiko
male, paralyzed
Aiko was used as a part of a target practice and shot multiple times. His owners let him with the injuries he sustained for months until a rescue stepped in. He was infested with maggots and went through multiple surgeries. Thankfully, he regained enough strength to travel to us all the way from Lebanon. Aiko is the sweetest boy you will meet- he will literally hug you! He loves to sunbathe and will spend most of the day under the sun.
