Tucker
I’d like you all to join me in wishing a huge welcome to our Star Kit for today, Tucker. He is a 4 month old Domestic Short Hair from Stow, Ohio.
We found this little guy being chased by a dog. We already have 4 cats and were apprehensive about keeping another one in our townhouse. However, after a day or so around him, I was convinced he was blind. The vet confirmed – sure enough – he is definitely blind. But do not freight!
He LOVES to play with the others, with toys, with us. He is full of live just as a kitty with eyesight. He loves to bring his toys upstairs (yes, he is a stair master!!) and show us his collection. He also has a thing for biting our hands!

Pounce! Sweet baby.
He is so beautiful. My Dusty is the same color and he is 5 years old now. I think people really under estimate how smart animals really are. I am sure Tucker is just fine and all his other senses are what help him adapt. He has a big family there for him as well. 🙂
Wow, did this one catch the lucky ring! And beautiful to boot.
Blind cats are just as good as sighted cats, Of course he should always stay indoors where he will know his way around and be safe. I’m happy that you have adopted him!
Mr. Tucker is so handsome!!! For a second I thought that he was a Chartreux – one of those fancy breeds. I’m so happy that his blindness doesn’t hamper his activities, animals seem to do so much better with challenges than a lot of people. If he were my kitty I’d want to spend hours just stroking his super-plush fur!
He also has an “old soul” for such a young lad. He looks so wise in his intro photo. What a wonderful kitten. Once I found a beautiful white kitten who was stone deaf. I had two cats and couldn’t have another, but found a home for him, and as far as I know, he’s had a happy life with his people.
I do believe Serendipity placed all of your together, including the dog, at just the right time so that Tucker would have the safe and loving forever home he has now. Bless you many times over for providing this handsome kitty man with the love and care he so deserves. Give him a kiss and belly rub for me. Such a sweet handsome guy:)
Also, please give us an update on Tucker! I’d love to hear how he is doing in the future. Thanks:)
Mr. Tucker is a very special indeed. What a handsome plush guy and I’m so glad you were there when he’d needed a furever family. I just want to give him hugs and kisses.
Tucker is such a good looking kitty! So plush and full of expression – proof that eyes alone don’t express all. Thank you for saving him from the dog.
What a handsome boy little Tucker is! He’s got a sweet face.
Enjoy Tucker. I had a blind cat that I found at work … Felix. He was a God send to me. He came when I called his name. He loved me so much and he showed me every day. He even brought me a mouse one night to show me. He had such a good personality. You will have many wonderful times with him. Blind cats are special. They have excellent skills. They are very emotional. I left for a couple of days and Felix quit eating. I rushed home. Once I came in the door he started eating … immediately. Thank you for taking him into your home.
Tucker is a sweetheart. There’s a book you might be interested in about a fearless blind cat. Homer’s Odyssey by Gwen Cooper. Take good care of your little boy!
