Wadiya

My story

Wadiya & Jerry — The Braille Boy & His Supersonic Guide Cat  From Oman to SF, we’ve traveled over 7,000 miles to find a forever home. We are a fiercely bonded package deal, ready to bring a massive amount of love to your home. Wadiya (The Gentle Soul) I’ve had quite the rough start in life. I lost my sight and became FIV+ at a young age trying to survive on the harsh streets of Oman, and although I had a family before, last year my owner kicked me out and it broke my heart. After being taken in by a kind local rescuer, I spent seven months waiting for my golden ticket to the U.S. But don’t let my past—or my lack of eyes—fool you. I am a resilient, low-maintenance, and incredibly gentle boy. If you’re thinking, "A blind cat sounds like a lot of work," let me stop you right there! It took me just two days to master my new foster home. I have zero trouble navigating, eating, using the litter box (including the litter robot!), jumping onto the bed, or climbing up to the top level of the cat tree. There’s been zero accidents, messiness or extra support needed from my foster humans. I’m a just low-key guy who loves soaking up the sun, loafing on the cat tree, and turning into a softly purring puddle of mush on your lap when you're available. Jerry (The Emotional Support Alien) They call me “Little Alien" because of my uniquely lean body, angular face, long tail, and out-of-this-world personality. I may be tiny, but I have a huge presence. I move at supersonic speed—one second I’m right next to you, and the next, I’m across the room making you do a double-take. I may be 1 year old, but I’m a kitten at heart, with 8lbs of energy and fun. I love treats, toys of all kinds, investigating anything new, demanding attention as soon as you wake up, giving kisses to your hands, and being precisely in the middle of whatever you are doing. But my absolute favorite job in the world? Being Wadiya’s professional hype-man and emotional support animal. When we first arrived, I would constantly run back and forth between him and our foster human, giving him headbutts and grooming his head as if to say, "Don’t worry, big brother, this human is safe!" I am his eyes, his protector, his best friend, and there’s not a day that we don’t sleep together cuddled up. The Perfect Pair Together, we are friendly, affectionate, playful and completely adaptable. Especially because Jerry guides the way, you honestly don't need to do anything extra to help Wadiya thrive. We just need a kind voice to tell us we’re home, a soft blanket to share, some Churu to go crazy over, and a forever person to love. We’ve come so far and waited so long. Could you be the happy ending we've been traveling for?
