From Feline Network of the Central Coast

Hootie is an 11-year-old tabby girl, chalk-full of quirky wonders and affection. Having spent the first 10 years of her life as a misunderstood barn cat, Hootie got high blood pressure (easily resolved with one daily pill for literally $2 per month) which caused her to go blind. Within hours of coming into Feline Network’s care, the REAL Hootie came out of her charming ‘barn cat’ shell. She is affectionate and loves pets, one-on-one time, and extended lap sessions. She loves to be in the vicinity of her humans and has figured out how to navigate the house and jump onto her foster parents’ bed at night. (She loves to sleep at your feet.) She lightly drools when your pets take her into blissful nuzzling and she’ll give you the tiniest, most adorable lick-kisses in gratitude. Hootie is a petite kitty with a slightly stubby tail, fluffy cheek tufts, and big, dilated pupils, which give her an ‘owl-like’ appearance. Her adjustment from life outdoors to the pampered indoor lifestyle with a selection of cat beds to choose from, a heated cat mat, and zero concerns about predators could not have been smoother. She may love to be the only cat of the household but has had an easy time…

In the rescue's own words, as they published it.
