Sunglow (Mufasa)(Shanks) - neutered male, 14.5yo, 18.8lbs

Sunglow was brought to the shelter as a stray on 1/13. He is not new to the system, he was here once before in 2023, and now he urgently needs a rescue placement.



Sunglow is facing significant medical challenges. He has a fractured left upper canine, a cherry eye in his right eye, and mature cataracts in both eyes, leaving him blind in his right eye with likely limited vision in his left. He does not respond to loud sounds and appears to be largely deaf. Additional findings include multiple small skin masses (including one on his right ear), and a mild systolic heart murmur (grade 1/6).



Despite everything his body has been through, Sunglow’s spirit is gentle and kind. He has consistently been described as sweet, calm, and tolerant, handling exams and care with grace while seeking quiet, gentle affection.



Since 1/22, Sunglow has been settling into a foster home, where he has proven to be a polite, easy house guest, further showing how well he can thrive in a calm, stable environment.



Due to his significant vision and hearing impairments and ongoing medical needs, rescue placement is strongly recommended so Sunglow can receive the treatment, support, and low-stress life he deserves.



A full medical summary is available upon request.



Please let us know if your organization can help!
