Ms. Hazel started out as a stray with a serious eye injury, left with little hope until she made her way to safety. Instead of being put back outside, she received care for both her eye—now removed—and her spay surgery. Since then, she’s been taking her time adjusting to life indoors, learning to trust and explore her new world with just one eye. Hazel is naturally cautious around strangers, but for someone patient and gentle, she’s sure to come around and show gratitude in her own quiet ways. She gets along well with other cats, often cuddling with her feline roommates, though she hasn’t lived with dogs. Likely, she’d be okay with calm, respectful dogs, but a rowdy canine or a house full of young kids would probably overwhelm her. For Hazel, older kids or an adult-only home is best. Her sensitive stomach means she does better on higher-quality, sensitive-system cat food, so potential adopters should factor this into their plans. Ms. Hazel was born under the sign of Virgo, which is said to suit her thoughtful and observant personality. She’s searching for a home where she’ll be cherished for the resilient, gentle companion she is. Click apply to start the adoption process.
