Pet of the Week: Meet Morty, a Big-Eyed Sweetheart Looking for Love
By Staff Writer
Published on Fri, Nov 13, 2026
Morty is one of the friendliest cats available for adoption at Long Beach Animal Care Services.
At 1 year old and just 6.6 pounds, this little orange-and-cream kitty has plenty of personality, a sweet disposition and a whole lot of love to give.
Morty is always eager for attention. He's also been described as a well-behaved, medium-energy companion. In fact, when Morty was recovering from a cold, a shelter employee took him home for a few nights and reported that he was a wonderful houseguest!
Morty does have a condition called symblepharon, in which scar tissue from a previous injury has caused part of his inner eyelid to attach to his eyeball. Fortunately, the condition does not affect his field of vision and may only require routine checkups.
If you're looking for an affectionate cat who strikes a nice balance between playful and laid-back, Morty could be your perfect match.
This big-eyed sweetheart deserves a chance to win your heart.
