We get along beautifully—you’ll often find us playing, exploring, or keeping each other company. We could be adopted together if you’re looking for a built-in duo, but we’d also be happy in separate homes with the right setup.<br/><br/>Rescued from a shelter in Turkey by Help Street Cats & Dogs — they’re always looking for flight volunteers to help more cats like me find safety and love.<br/><br/>Follow our journey: @blocky_buds<br/><br/>Please note:<br/>- River is a Special Needs cat.<br/>- Indoor only<br/><br/>For more information or to apply for River, please go to:<br/>https://www.givemesheltersf.org/adoption/cat.php?id=12391<br/><br/>[id=12391;ts=1777359621;src=pf]

River — The Gentle Soul Who Just Wants to Be Close

Hi, I’m River.

I came from a crowded shelter in Turkey, where I was found blind, very thin, and trying my best to stay tucked away in a cold cage. It wasn’t a place where I could have stayed for long—but thankfully, I didn’t have to.

Now I’m safe, cared for, and learning just how good life can be.

I may be blind, but I’ve adapted beautifully—and these days, my favorite thing in the world is being close to my people. I’m a big snuggler. If you sit down, there’s a very good chance I’ll be draped across you in no time, happily napping away.

I’m more on the laid-back side, but I do have a playful streak—especially once I’ve settled in. I love a good wrestle session (especially with my friend Tilly), and I enjoy toys when I’m feeling playful.

I’m incredibly gentle and sweet, not just with people but with other animals too. I’ll groom my humans, my kitty friends... anyone who needs a little love. It’s just my way of showing I
