Agree, agree, agree!

There are angels that walk among us, aren't there?

Katladyd you said it oh so well, sweet Melissa with all that has been going on in your life, you still have the time to spare to help these precious furbabies, poor little girl, she has survived so far, and now hopefully her life will no longer be so scarey and she will be loved and cherished in a new home, thanks to you, i can only repeat what others have said and bless you a thousand times. Take care honey and fingers and all paws crossed this little girl will be ok, and adopted soon.

Maybe I wasn't clear, she didn't have surgery. She just has no eyes. We don't know what happened but as Moon&Bean said she was probably born without eyes.

My Sophia had surgery on her one eye and now she lives with us. She is from this farm as well. This little girl will be taken to the vets next week. I will find out the date that Shirley has the appt. I'm sure it will be Monday hopefully.

Thanx for clearing that up, Melissa, the poor, sweet girl.

Hi Melissa, I have been looking for a kitty who was blind for some time now. Are you keeping her? I would love to see pics. Maybe I could adopt her
Melissa

Some of you know about my dear Sophia who has asthma. I'm not sure if I ever told you guys that she was caught on a farm and at the time she had 2 eyes but one was really infected so the one was removed and now she's our sweet 1 eye kitty.

Well Shirley called me (she's the lady who I volunteer with from time to time) and she told me that the lady who feeds the cats at the barn saw a cat with no eyes.

Shirley said she isn't sure where she saw it but she hasn't seen it for a few days and when I heard of this cat I've been worried for a couple days about it and with the wildlife around you never know how quickly one will get killed or something like that.

Anyway, I kept a hold of Shirley and checked in to see if this cat was seen at all and last night I went out to the farm to set up some traps to see if I'd get anything.

I looked around the one barn for the blind kitty and I couldn't see it. So I left and told the lady where the traps were and before 9 p.m. to close them. I got a call from Shirley last night wanting to know how it went and she got another call at the same time while we were on the phone and she didn't know if it was the lady from the barn or not but she better hang up.

Within a few minutes Shirley called me right back and said that we caught the blind cat!

I was super excited and Shirley said she didn't know when she was going to get a chance to get out there since she has to still feed her cats so I offered to drive out to the farm to pick her up.

Shirley accepted and I was on my way to get this cat at 9:15 p.m. last night. I arrived at the farm around 9:40 p.m. and met the lady and she showed me the kitties in trap. OMG I fell in love so quickly. She's so skinny and small, yet seems semi-adult like.

She has no eyes; she has the sockets and can blink but no eyes.

Shirley is going to get her into the vets today and if she can't I told her I would take her to mine. I don't know if she is going to require surgery for her eyes or not but we'll see. This sweet girl also has a bump on her back and we are not sure if it's an abscess or not.

If anyone would like to make donations for this sweet girl, it would be tax deductable since it's for a registered non-profit organization. Please contact me for details. I could give the vets number as well and a donation could be made directly for this girl kitty.

I will post pictures as soon as I can of her. She was very calm last night and mellow and when I talked with Shirley this morning she ate some food and she used the litter box. We may try to foster her if we can find a home for Ziggy.

Thanks!
Melissa

I just got these photos tonight. I kinda wish I would have taken the pictures of Friday night when I got her because she had them open then but now they are semi-crusted over so I'm not sure what's going on there. Shirley wasn't home for me to ask her since she's at petco trying to adopt out some kitties.

Thank you,
Melissa

She is so lovely and looks so alert! If only they could tell us their story...

[Medusa]

Oh the sweet girl! I could just hug her!

[catmandu]

What a Dear Little Cat!!
We are praying that she will find her Furrever Home and Her Place in the Sun.
Our Awesome Angels are with hher , letting Her know the worst s over and that She will be all right now.

[Freedom]

Hey she looks a LOT like my Sparkle!

I think the vet will sew the sockets closed to prevent infection, but what do I know?

At least now she is safe and has a good chance at a nice life.

[momcat]

OMG... what a little sweetheart! Prayers are being prayed for this kitty to recover and find her purrfect furever home where she'll be loved and cared for.

You have done so much to help so many kitties in need! There's no question that each one holds you in a very special place in their hearts. Your dedication is an inspiration to all of us.

Could I ask you to give this sweetie lots of lovies from me?

[Anikaca77]

Thank you all for your kind words.

I'm waiting to hear back from Shirley as too when we should make the vet appt. If she doesn't plan on taking the cat in on Monday I will take her in to a vets where I can make payments hopefully because my vet won't let me be seen without paying up front for the services.

I did get a nice donation so thank you and I won't say who or how much because I don't think that person would want me to but a HUGE THANK YOU to them and you know who you are.

Thank you all for your prays.
Melissa

Hi All-

I made a vet appt. for today at 12 noon. I talked with Shirley last night and I told her about seeing her eyes having some black stuff across her eyes and her eyes being shut and Shirley's response is "oh really" and I'm just like are you kidding me that you haven't really looked at her. I was semi-ticked and I also realize that she is super busy and just doesn't have the time but really you can't see that.

Anyway, so I asked her if she wanted me to make a vet appt. or not and she said that was fine so I did. I'm hoping to take her to the vet appt. and then take her home with me and not back to Shirleys.

I hope you all don't think that's mean but this girl requires care and I just don't feel she's getting it.

Thanks!

Melissa

Awee she is Adorable.. Yes she has tear ducks.. My Bogart has tear ducks even thou he has no eyeballs.. All you have to do is get a wash cloth with some warm water & gently wash around her eye area.. It will wash off.. My Bogart when he is stressed his tear ducks will wet quite abit.. Hope all comes out ok at the Vets.. Good Luck & thank you for such hard work that you have done..

If anyone would like to donate to help out with her vet bill it would be appreciated.
