I believe his blindness comes from a viral infection. I do not have stairs in my home, and I have been told he is littertrained. I plan to start him out in one room.

He likes other cats, but I don't know how sensitive his immune system will be to a change in the household and would hate to cause him to have a health relapse due to introducing a new cat. On the other hand, I know how hard it is to rehome a positive cat, and since I already have a positive household, I feel like I should be open to helping other positives.
