Rosie’s heart was captured when she stumbled upon an Instagram post featuring a visually-impaired long-haired cat in Wilmington, North Carolina, who needed a new family. The fluffy feline’s endearing expression melted Rosie’s heart, leaving her unable to resist the urge to adopt her.
The photo on Instagram by @matt_thesupercat shows Rosie’s newly adopted cat, who she believes will thrive under her care. Rosie has previous experience caring for a blind tabby and white cat named Matt, whom she adopted in 2018. She is confident that she can provide the necessary attention to help her new cat adjust well to its new home.
The adorable cat in the picture, featured on @matt_thesupercat’s Instagram page, has an interesting backstory. In December of last year, a woman named Rosie got in touch with the cat’s owner after learning that she could no longer keep the blind feline due to personal reasons. The owner had adopted the cat from a shelter a year prior, but unfortunately, the cat’s previous owner, an elderly woman, had passed away before the cat’s eye infection could be treated. As a result, the cat lost both of its eyes. Despite this obstacle, the cat seems to be thriving in its new home and is loved by its owner and fans on social media.
After going through surgery and adapting to life without sight, the cat was up for adoption again just a year later. The good news was that Rosie had contacted the owner and convinced them that she would provide an excellent home for this special needs feline. Rosie recalls how when she went to pick her up, the cat was happily kneading on the couch, making herself comfortable. After placing her in the carrier, the ride home was peaceful and quiet.
Upon arriving at Rosie’s home in Raleigh, North Carolina, the small blind cat spent two hours in the car before finally settling into her new home. The cat had a fresh start and was given a new name by Rosie, who called her Ellie, as a nod to Elektra from Daredevil. Ellie’s new owner also named her after Matt Murdock, who is Daredevil’s alter ego. In an effort to ease the introduction between Ellie and Rosie’s other cat, Matt, Rosie kept them apart. However, this proved to be a challenge as Matt did not like closed doors and often tried to get into the room where Ellie was staying.
Ellie, a blind cat, had to adjust to a new environment when Rosie adopted her. Initially, it was difficult for her to fit in with her adoptive brother, Matt, but with time, the two cats got along well. Ellie now enjoys spending time with Rosie and Matt, cuddling with her brother and relaxing in her cat bed. Although Ellie initially struggled to navigate her home because of her blindness, she has adapted well using her other senses. Rosie believes that blind cats are just like any other cats and can lead fulfilling lives with their unique personalities. Adopting a blind cat may require more patience, but it is worth it in the end, according to Rosie.
Ellie, the gorgeous blind feline, had a few homes before being adopted by Rosie and Matt. However, her new mom is confident that Ellie will never be up for adoption again. Rosie often describes Ellie as a “living stuffed animal” due to her adorable, fluffy appearance and her quiet nature – Ellie rarely meows. As long as she’s cuddling with her mom, Ellie is perfectly content to spend the entire day relaxing. According to Rosie, Ellie is one of the most gentle and easy-going cats she’s ever met, always providing her with happiness and joy. Even on the toughest days, Ellie can inevitably put a smile on Rosie’s face.
