August

Hi, my name is August. I am estimated to be about 8 years old. I came to the shelter 11/4/25 as part of a cruelty case. I was confined to a cat carrier for as long as I can remember. I had no litter box, no bed, no blanket, nothing. Just food and sometimes water. Being in a cage my whole life has made my depth perception be thrown completely off. My eyesight isn't the best unfortunately, and I am almost completely blind. Staff will let me smell them before touching me, but I never really know that it's a person that I'm smelling, until they try to pet me. I get so scared and jump because I don’t realize there was even someone standing in front of me trying to touch me in the first place. I’ve never been in a home, and with my vision impairment, I think I’m going to be best as a companion, versus a best friend. I mean I'm sure once I'm comfortable in a home, that with time, my family will be able to pet me without me getting jump scared, but I just don't want to get anybody's hopes up. I know what it feels like to be let down, and I don't want my future family to ever feel that way. So if you’re a patient person, who will give me the appropriate amount of time to adjust, please consider coming to meet me
