Volunteers picked him up the next day. Soon they realized how much he loved the other cats.

As I walked around my space, I would sometimes bump into things, but as long as my friend’s cat was nearby, I never faltered.

“He handles everyday life very well. He runs and plays like a normal kitten. He eats and waters just fine, and his litter box is 100% perfect.”

“He can jump on and climb sofas, beds and cat trees. The only difference is that he does not jump down like sighted cats do, but by backwards.”

The spotted boy climbed the cat tree and decided to take a nap there.

Five months after arriving at Best Friends Felines, Amigo was still waiting for his perfect family to take him home.

Former adoptees Kelly and Louie met Amigo a few weeks ago and knew it would be a great companion for eight-month-old cat Basil. Just like Amigo, Basil is also found on the street and rescued in search of a chance to get a better life.

Basil is full of confidence and energy. He enjoys snuggling and making biscuits with his kneaded legs.

“After a long conversation, it became clear that Kelly and Louis were truly dedicated and patient, so Amigo left the foster home to live with his new parents and furry brother, Basil. ”

With Basil by his side, it didn’t take long for Amigo to break out of its shell and into his brother’s arms. “Amigo had no understanding of personal space when it came to other cats.”

Basil and Amigo quickly became best friends@bestfriendsfelines

“He’s adapted really well and his new parents are crazy about him. Amigo and Basil are already best friends for life.”
