Shepherd’s Heart is as Loud as His Meow
Shepherd’s playful spirit and big meow make him unforgettable. Though he’s blind and deaf, the QCAWC team has noticed some limited vision—he’s been spotting toys and playing with them! 🎾
At 7 years old, Shepherd is on medication for possible cancer, but he’s ready to live his best life in a loving home. If you’re looking for a cat who will inspire you daily, Shepherd is the one. 💕 Shepherd is a sweet and special cat who, due to his limited vision and hearing, would thrive as your one and only pet, where he can feel safe, loved, and stress-free in a calm and quiet home.
