About Rascal

Meet Rascal. Rascal has a unique story. Born with eyelid agenesis, her upper eyelids didn't develop properly, leading to discomfort that left her wary of the world. Thanks to SpayMart, she received reconstructive surgery to form new eyelids, allowing her eyes to heal. However, trust takes time for her. Though she enjoys gentle petting, Rascal needs a kind and patient person who understands her journey. She has already formed a bond with her best friend, Westie, another cat with a tough past. You'll often find them snuggled together, providing comfort to one another. Rascal doesn’t need someone to "fix" her; she needs a loving home where she can learn the world is safe.
