About Drillbit

Meet Drillbit! This wonderful senior cat originally came to us through a TNR (Trap-Neuter-Return) mission, but his foster family quickly recognized that he belonged in a loving home. His name comes from a past neurological injury, likely from a car accident, which once caused him to walk in circles. Thankfully, Drillbit has made significant progress. While he still paces occasionally, he has beautifully adapted to his surroundings. As a deaf cat with some vision impairment and heart disease, Drillbit’s time is precious, and we hope he spends many years basking in love. This affectionate boy enjoys rubbing against his humans for head scratches and has excellent litter box habits. He gets along wonderfully with other cats and often chirps or meows to announce his presence. Drillbit deserves to enjoy his golden years filled with warmth and care.
