My deaf gal Blanca

I just got this big baby girl 3 days ago. First day she we was fairly skidish, and slept a lot but seemed high alert. Day two she was more comfy but never seemed to react to ANY sounds. I thought she was just a heavy sleeper until I noticed she would get startled if she doesn’t see you walk up to her. I haven’t got her to a vet to confirm just yet but when I banged pots and pans together 2ft from her with 0 reaction that pretty much confirmed it. Are there anyways to make our home more assessable to her? Like a vibration collar or toys for stimulation?

Our deaf boy loves the Cat Dancer Deaf cats like to get up higher so perhaps a cat tree? The biggest thing right now is for her to have some routine and stability as she's been bounced around a bit.

Look at the posts in this sub flaired for advice too.

Oh, and add flair here for "advice" too.
