Meet Termite, a striped stray kitty who became blind after an accident. Some kindhearted hoomans picked him up and brought him to the shelter, and then one of them decided to upload a hissterical adoption post to help find him a home.

Some kitties at the shelter have a hard time finding a forever home… and unfortunately, Termite is one of them. People often want to adopt a kitten who is small, playful, and affectionate. Termite, on the other hand, is a big boy, not very affectionate, and very dramatic. But does that mean he is any less lovable? Absolutely not. See, Termite is a fluffy feline who needs a patient hooman… I have no doubt at all that he will become very attached to someone if they give him enough love and time. I've seen it so many times before… the most angry cats have become the most loving when placed in the right environment.

So, what are you waiting for? Maybe you'll be the one to adopt this feisty feline and provide him with a forever home? Next, check out this fluffy fireplace full of cat memes to warm the hooman heart!

    Are you tired of regular cats that want to hang out with you all the time? Then maybe Termite is for you. Termite is a high-risk, low-reward, decorative cat that requires only slightly more work than a discounted houseplant. Termite came to the shelter after his caretaker suspected he had been by a car. Because of this, his eyeballs were of no further use, and so they were removed. His eardrums also took quite a blow, and likely ruptured. The foster and veterinarian suspect his ear drums may be

    vibrations from the floor to know when someone else is in the room. It took Termite a long time to get accustomed to his special room, but he enjoys the simple things: laying in the sun, laying on his many beds, eating slowly, and his personal favorite pastime: not being touched by people. Despite his prickly nature, Termite has coexisted peacefully with other cats, even allowing himself to be bullied away from his food bowl. Termite is litterbox trained--a fact his foster will literally not sto

    Termite is a little chunky, but it's nearly impossible to play with him, as essentially all contact is perceived as a threat. Termite is very lowkey, except when an item in his room is moved 2inches to the left, at which point, he will cry dramatically. If you think Termite may be the perfect addition to your household, please reach out to the foster team, or his proud foster at mwilliams@acctphilly.org.

    FlamingoLopsided2466 1 day ago I need to start reading more carefully, it just didn't make sense for someone to remove a cats eyebrows. I'm sure he will be the bestest boy for the right people 2.2k Reply Share gorlyworly 1 day ago Hahahah, can you imagine if that was a thing? "I'm very sorry, ma'am, but your cat ... we had no other choice. For the sake of his life, we had to surgically remove his eyebrows."

    littleliongirless . 1 day ago Seriously. Termite has bonding issues and only the best, most devoted and patient servants will be worthy. I see nothing wrong here with Termite, only an incompatibility with his current care. Man just needs a peaceful home; then I predict full, serious snugglebug. 644 Reply Share PickleForce 7125. 21 hr. ago Well I mean he is a cat so there is that godly benevolent aura to him so if patience and dedication is what he needs then I hope for his future to be fulfillin

    whatsreallygoingon · 1 day ago As I read this, I'm thinking "I could change him!” as I look over at Solo Slasher, who feels the same way about humans but has the advantage of great aim.
