About Ringo

Ringo is a brave little fighter in need of a patient and loving home. This affectionate young male cat is approximately 6 months old and weighs around 5.5 lbs. Missing one eye, he may not see clearly, but he sure knows how to find a warm lap. After surviving life on the streets of Boston and a recent accident, Ringo is recovering in a foster home where he feels safe. He gets along well with his calm doggy foster brother and loves to cuddle on the couch. Although he's mostly or completely blind, his curiosity shines through as he explores his surroundings. Due to a fractured sacrum and ongoing recovery needs, Ringo is currently on crate rest and requires a mature adopter who can maintain his medication schedule and help him navigate his environment as he heals. He is friendly, resilient, and eager to discover what life has to offer. Having already shown plenty of playful personality, he’s ready to bring gentle purrs and joy to the right home. If you can offer a quiet, loving space where Ringo can thrive, he promises endless cuddles in return. Click apply to start the adoption process.
