Wabi Sabi

IN FOSTER

Wabi Sabi is a cat with a story that will tug at your heart and a spirit that will inspire you. Wabi Sabi’s life hasn’t been easy; he was found after what we think was a poorly executed hitchhiking attempt, stuck in a snowbank during a brutal winter storm, with burns on his back, frostbite on his nose and ear, some dental injuries, and a front leg that’s still healing. Yet, through all of that, he’s remained impossibly sweet, gentle, and loving.

Wabi Sabi is named for the Japanese philosophy of “perfect imperfection” — and there could be no better name. He’s a little off, a little patched, a little battle-scarred, but in every way, he is perfect. He adores head scritches, melts into cuddles, and loves quietly being near his people. He’s looking for a calm, loving home where his uniqueness is celebrated, where his past scars are seen as marks of resilience rather than flaws, and where he can finally live fully, safely, and loved for exactly who he is.

Wabi Sabi is a reminder that even the most fragile-seeming souls can have the most courageous hearts — and that sometimes, the most imperfect creatures are the ones who teach us the deepest love.
