Ypsi (& Gypsy) Domestic Short Hair Wyandotte, MI

Ypsi is a sweet senior girl who was surrendered with her lifelong companion, Gypsy. They were perfect pets but their prior owner was forced to move to a "no pets" room due to mounting medical bills. These girls were rescued by their owner as babies and should not have to be homeless at this stage of their lives. They are both beautiful and gentle cats in need of a devoted home to care for them in their golden years.

To make this tale more heartbreaking, Ypsi has failing vision. We didn't know at first because her devoted sister, Gypsy, guides her when she needs help. Ypsi still has shadow vision though, and can get around pretty well. They're both very smart cats.
