ADOPTION STORY: HELEN the Blind & Deaf Black Cat

When Helen came to MHC, we knew we had to do everything we can to find this darling cat a home that will be willing and able to take care of her special needs. 

Helen already had a few challenges:

• born blind and deaf
• older cat at almost 9 years 
• she's a solid black cat (read about Black Cat & Dog Syndrome)

​
On top of that, she had become homeless when her owner passed away. Even the 2 cats she was surrendered with did not seem to care for Helen at all. 

Despite all of life's challenges, Helen retained her sweet and gentle nature and kept hoping for the best.

One sweet day, someone saw Helen's story and wanted to meet and get to know her. 
Soon, Helen's future  family came by the Adoption Center inside PetSmart and instantly fell in love with her! 

Thank you Marlow Wall and family for making Helen a part of your family. She is one lucky black cat! 

NOTES FROM HELEN'S ADOPTER:

• We  just wanted to say again how thankful we were that Helen was there! She has been doing very well so far and adjusting beautifully.  She is so sweet. ​
• Helen's doing very well and has fallen in love with my daughter 😂 She really is a sweetheart and has done an excellent job of learning her surroundings. Thank y’all again for helping her get a second chance!
