These parents adopt 3 cats, including a blind one, to the delight of their visually impaired child

Upon learning that 3 cats, including a blind male  and his mother, were looking for a home, a family with one of the children who are visually impaired contacted the shelter. She didn’t expect to be selected, as there were so many applicants.

3 cats were waiting to be adopted at a shelter in Sioux City, Iowa. 1300 kilometers away, in Ohio, a family touched by their history had contacted the reception structure with a view to adopting them. Many others had done the same.

The applications came from 20 different states, says SiouxLandProud. Paul Nestor and his wife Amy kept thinking about this trio of felines, including a blind man and his mother. They knew there was “competition” and felt they had little chance of being chosen by the team

Amy and Paul are the parents of 3 children, including a 12-year-old visually impaired boy named Joshua. All the siblings were excited to welcome the cats, but Joshua was even more so. He always loved animals and knew deep down that he could help the blind feline a lot.

“We are all going to be sad to see them go, but they will join a loving family”

When the shelter called the Nestors to tell them that they had been selected to become the new owners of the cats, they let their joy explode, just like the children did.

Cindy Rarrat, executive of Rescue Center, says she feels both happiness knowing that the best possible family has been found for the 3 cats, and a pang of heart to see them leave the shelter. “They’ve been here for about a month and a half, so we all got attached to them. We will o be thankful to see them go, but I know they will join a loving family, ” she says.
