About Noir
Meet Noir, a petite 10-month-old powerhouse born with paralyzed back legs—she doesn't let that hold her back. This little black cat is the queen of zoomies, darting across the floor with surprising speed, and she's recently taken up climbing, flexing her upper body strength on every available surface. Give her a string toy or a Churu treat and you'll see her playful side, though she's just as likely to suddenly flop over and demand a belly rub. Despite her size and disability, Noir thrives by navigating life with fierce determination and a fiery spirit that is impossible to ignore. Noir will need some extra care—she is incontinent because of her disability. Thankfully, she and her foster family have fine-tuned ways to keep things clean and manageable: she’s practicing wearing diapers and uses pee pads for easy changes, all while staying in high spirits. Her digestion is healthy, so her care routine has settled into something predictable. Outside of these basics, she's just a healthy young cat bursting with energy and personality. Social to the core, Noir has already convinced her foster family's most selective cats to accept her (even though they are twice her size). She’s searching for a patient, dedicated home—someone ready to give encouragement when she climbs, applause for her speedy sprints, and gentle belly rubs whenever she flops over. It takes someone who sees past her challenges and appreciates her resilience, sass, and big personality. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
