Wookie is a stunning orange-and-white long-haired boy with a magnificent fluffy coat and an even fluffier heart. Born approximately March 16, 2025, Wookie spent the beginning of his life outdoors in a colony before being rescued on March 20, 2026—just in time to give him the chance at the life he deserved.
When Wookie was rescued, he appeared to be blind. He kept his eyes tightly closed, and when he initially went in to be neutered, veterinarians feared that he had permanently lost his vision. Eye removal was even being considered.
Thankfully, his foster and rescue team were not willing to make such a life-changing decision without seeking a second opinion. Wookie was evaluated by a veterinary ophthalmology specialist, who discovered something very different:
Wookie was not blind at all.
Wookie has unusually small eyeballs, and his eyelids were affected by
entropion
, a painful condition in which the eyelashes and eyelid roll inward and rub against the corneas. This was causing severe irritation and discomfort and was likely something Wookie had endured for much of his life. Despite all of this, he still had normal vision.
On April 21, 2026, Wookie underwent entropion surgery to correct his eyelids and finally give his eyes the comfort they needed. The transformation has been incredible. Since surgery, Wookie has absolutely blossomed. He can now see comfortably and clearly, and he is discovering all the wonderful things that come with being an indoor cat—including the joy of seeing the world around him.
Wookie is a
gentle, docile, sweet-natured boy
who can be a little shy at first. He gets along well with other cats and enjoys having feline friends to play with. Once he feels comfortable, his playful side comes out, and he especially enjoys wrestling and chasing his toys.
Evenings are Wookie’s favorite time to become active. He loves watching birds, following the laser light, and taking in everything happening around him. After everything he has been through, it is wonderful to see him enjoying the simple pleasures of being a cat.
Because Wookie is a gentle and somewhat sensitive boy, he may become overstimulated in a loud or particularly busy household. He would thrive in a
calm, peaceful home where he can take his time getting comfortable and allow his sweet personality to emerge at his own pace.
His long, soft coat will also benefit from regular brushing to prevent tangles and keep him looking as handsome as ever.
