Meet Loza – A Little Girl Who Sees the World Through Her Heart Beautiful Loza is an adorable 8-month-old female Snowshoe mix with Native Egyptian Mau heritage. She may have been born without sight, but she certainly hasn't let that stop her from enjoying life or giving love. Loza was born blind, and she has been examined by veterinarians on three separate visits, all confirming that her blindness is congenital and that she was born this way.Despite being blind, Loza is an amazing little girl who has learned to navigate her world with her other senses. She is fully litter-trained and knows exactly where her litter box is by its familiar scent. If her box is moved and she cannot locate it, she will simply meow until someone helps guide her back to it. Most importantly, Loza is an incredibly loving, sweet, and affectionate girl. She doesn't know that she's different—she simply knows that she loves people and wants to be loved in return. Loza would do best in a safe, predictable home where her litter box, food, water, and favorite resting places remain in consistent locations. With a little understanding and patience, a blind cat like Loza can live a happy, fulfilling, and deeply loving life. She may not be able to see you, but she will know your voice, your touch, and your love. And once Loza trusts you, you'll have a devoted little companion who will melt your heart. Loza is waiting for someone special to see what everyone else should see—a beautiful, loving little soul who deserves a forever home. Interested in adopting Loza?
