Meet Bubby

I am beautiful 2-year old Bubby, who was born with my sight but lost it as a kitty on the street. Let me tell you my story.

I was born in a backyard in Jamaica, Queens toward the end of 2020. It got really cold out there and I got so sick. Someone halfway rescued me because they brought me to the vet and the Fur Real NYC folks paid for it and asked them to hold me overnight while they figured out a place for me the next morning. They brought me home from the vet and put me right back outside! It was like 20 degrees that night. I'll never forget that feeling of having hope and then losing it when I was back out in the cold.

Thankfully the next morning, the rescue people got me and took me in. I was really, really sick. I needed medication for a couple of weeks and my eyes got so messed up. It was at that time that I lost much of my sight. They thought I was totally blind, but I wasn't! I was able to see enough to to get around and jump, run, play, get to my food, litter, the bed, everything. So I'm glad they didn't remove my eyes, because they were talking about that and they decided against it. Whew!

So anyway, I made a full recovery. This was March 2021 when I was only 4 months old. The rescue lady was planning on finding me a home but she loved me so much and I got along well with all the cats in her home and I was just such a happy kitty that she said she'd probably keep me. Well...that probably wasn't a great idea.

You see, my human momma is very, very busy. She runs a rescue group all day and also works to pay to take care of everyone. I often don't see her for 24 hours, and she comes in and feeds us and then leaves again. It wasn't always like that. But it has been this way for a while now and I miss sleeping next to her in bed and getting cuddles and all the love. It's a very lonely place now, and all the cats here feel the same way.

So it's now mid 2023, a full 2 years after my life was saved, and it's time to move on to a home where I can be well cared for and get the love and life that I deserve.

I get along well with all other cats. Sometimes in the beginning if a new rescue comes in, I'd initiate them by playing rough with them, but soon after that, we'd be in bed together. I also helped to raise a couple of kittens who are now young adults and we're all still friends.

I can be very active at times, so I need the space to support that, including vertical spaces like cat trees and stuff. I also need a human or two who loves to cuddle and hold me like a baby, and talk to me and sing to me and stuff. I need a true cat person who is ready for the full Bubby experience.

My sight - trust me, this is a non-issue. I know my way around my current home so well that I can jump over any obstacle in my path at top speed and keep on running, and run right up the cat tree and jump up and down from the bed with ease. I can see just enough that I can figure everything out, especially if you give me time to learn the layout of your home. I always use the litterbox, and overall, don't do anything wrong. Oh wait, I do one annoying thing. If a door opens in your home, I am running right though it, and if you close a door between us, I will do an annoying hoarse cry to get you to open it. But that's it. Other than that, I'm totally a good girl all the time.

So, while I'm sad to leave my human momma, I'm ready for a better life and to learn to love someone new. Are you that new someone for me?
