Clinton’s story began with heartbreak, but he has never let it define him. This lively young kitten was surrendered to Devore Animal Shelter in October 2025 by people who chose to keep his siblings but did not want him because he was blind. At just five weeks old, he entered Kitty Devore foster care, where he has been thriving ever since.
Clinton’s eyes are microophthalmic, meaning they are undersized for his eye sockets, and they are heavily embedded behind his third eyelids. After a visit to our vet and based on his foster mom’s observations, Clinton can see light and shadow. Still, his visual impairments do not slow him down one bit. He explores the world with determination, happily trotting about, occasionally bumping into a wall, then simply changing course and carrying on. Because unfamiliar sounds can startle him, he would do best with a patient family willing to give him time to adjust and feel secure.
Clinton is bursting with personality and kitten energy. Evenings are his favorite time to shine, when the zoomies arrive and he transforms into a tiny jungle hunter, crouching low and waiting to pounce on unsuspecting ankles as they pass by. He keeps his claws tucked away for his playful sneak attacks, making his antics more funny than fierce. When the adventures are over, Clinton reveals his softer side. If he hops onto your chest, he is asking for snuggles, and if the mood is right, he absolutely adores belly scratches. He is also very social and would thrive in a home with another playful cat close to his age and energy level who is ready to wrestle, romp, and keep up with him.
Clinton is a truly special little guy with endless charm, nonstop entertainment value, and an adorable “birdie” purr that wins hearts instantly. He would be a wonderful addition to a loving home ready to embrace his playful spirit and sweet, cuddly side.
