  Patrick Corr adopted Stevie from a vet three years ago. The Animal Care Society of Cork was paying for the feline’s stay, but Stevie needed a forever home

  “I wasn’t even looking to adopt a cat, but when I heard she badly needed a home, I couldn’t resist,” Corr wrote on Imgur.

  Sharing his home with a blind cat required some adjustments, but Corr did what he could to ensure Stevie would be safe and comfortable.

  But just because Stevie is blind doesn’t mean she doesn’t love to explore the world outside her home.

  She uses her paws to judge distances to make sure she doesn’t fall off ledges and keeps low to the ground so her whiskers can detect her immediate surroundings
