Aslan — Brave, Devoted, and Full of Heart Hi... I’m Aslan. I came all the way from Oman because I didn’t have a chance at a loving home there — no chance at a forever home. I was struggling on the streets — sick, injured, and trying to survive on my own. Kind rescuers stepped in and changed everything. And now I’m here with Give Me Shelter — safe, cared for, and slowly learning what it means to just... be okay. I’m blind. The world feels big when you can’t see it. When I’m somewhere new, I might take a couple of days to hide and listen... to learn the space, the sounds, the rhythm of things. I may gently bump into things at first while I map it out. But I’m smart — I figure things out quickly. Give me a little time, and I’ll move around confidently like I’ve always been there. And once I feel safe? That’s when you’ll really meet me. I am incredibly affectionate — one of the most loving cats you’ll ever meet. I’ll climb right into your lap, make biscuits, press my face into you, and purr with a loud, steady motor. I give headbutts, hugs, and kisses... and I’ll happily fall asleep right on you. I bond deeply with my person. Once I choose you, my loyalty is quiet, strong, and forever. I also happen to be very food motivated (Churu is my favorite), which makes things like nail trims and meds pretty easy — I’m a very good patient. I’ve been through a lot, including dental work and having one of my eyes removed, and I handled it all with strength and trust. My remaining eye can sense light, but I rely on my other senses to understand the world. I love catnip toys, especially kicker toys and little mice I can bat around. I’m still figuring out some of the more advanced toys... but I’m getting there. I’d be happy as your one and only. I just need a patient, gentle home to help me settle in. Give me a soft voice, a steady routine, and a little time... and I will give you everything. Concerned about me being FIV+? Don’t be—there’s lots of helpful information out there to put your mind at ease. I can live a long, healthy life, meow. If you’d like to learn more, here’s a great resource from Cornell University. One brave orange boy. One big journey. And I’m just getting started. Come follow along on my journey, you can find me on Instagram: floofypeets.foster.
