About Stuart
Stuart is a cat with more nicknames than most—Stootypants, Stewie, Stubie, Studebaker, to name a few. He has a suspected case of Progressive Retinal Atrophy (PRA), which leads to blindness over time, but this hasn’t kept him from enjoying life. He remains playful and incredibly smart, learning his environment by listening for voices or floor taps and even climbing chairs to get your attention. Stuart is cautious with new surroundings yet remains stubbornly curious, always wanting to explore despite his limited vision. He’s considered a senior, and he has found comfort and friendship in the company of a kitten named Mercury—a rare but perfect match of old soul and youthful energy. If you’re open to adopting both, you’d be bringing home a special pair. Stuart is neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and has tested negative for FeLV. He is FIV positive, so he needs to be monitored for illness, but FIV+ cats often live long, content lives. He gets along with cats and dogs. His adopters will receive a bonus adoption package of goodies valued at around $100 if they visit certain partner pet stores after adopting. Click apply to start the adoption process.
