Remember Tuscany, my foster?

Tuscany's Intro (http://petoftheday.com/talk/showthread.php?s=&threadid=40359&highlight=tuscany)

He has not been with me for a few weeks because he had surgery on his eye. One of his eyes had a turned under eyelid, probably what cause the majority of the damage to his cornea.
He is doing fine and is due to come backl to me soon.
Check him out now, he actually OPENS his eyes!!

( by the way, the girls call him Dougie, it was the director Joyce who renamed him Tuscany)

Jen, I'm so glad to hear that Dougie's aka Tuscany's surgery went well and that he'll be fine.:) He's such a sweetheart and will hopefully be able to find a loving forever home soon. Please keep us updated.

I am happy that Dougie's eye surgery went well. I hope he is able to come back to you very soon.
I know the purrfect forever home is out there for him.

God is keeping a watchful "eye" on little Dougie. So glad to hear the good news Jen. You must be relieved. Looking forward to seeing more pictures.

Oh Jen, what wonderful news! I suppose this means he will be able to SEE out of this eye!!! Is his eye blue from birth, or is this from the infection / surgery as well?

Can't wait to hear and see more of Tuscany / Dougie !:)

[CatDad]

I am so glad to hear that Tuscany/Dougie is doing so well and that the surgery was a success.:)

Hopefully he willl recover quickly and find a wonderful forever home soon.

[Craftlady]

Bless his heart. I'm glad he is doing so well. :)

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

He looks like such a sweetheart and I'm glad his eye is doing better and he'll be coming "home" soon. :D

[Killearn Kitties]

Sounds like the same surgery Daisy had on her eyes in December. I'm glad he's coming back to you and wish you all the best in finding him a home!

Oh Jen, what a wonderful success story!:) Isn't he a sweetheart!:) Will he have his sight restored in that eye? I know he'll thrive during his recovery with you, Jen!:)

[jenluckenbach]

The vet thinks he has some sight in that eye, but the scaring will stay. The eyelashes rubbing on the cornea combined with infections and NO ONE to care for him caused permanent damage.
But he gets along well, he'd be the perfect addition to ANY household, I mean ANY household. Nothing bothers this boy.
He seems to be arthritic though, so he may be older than first expected. But I'd take him in 1 milli-second!!! if I was not at 15.

[kimlovescats]

OH, bless his heart, Jen.... I hope and pray this precious boy finds a loving home soon!!! Please keep us updated on him!!! ;)

[PayItForward]

Poor baby boy. I hope his eye heals quickly and he finds his forever mummy & daddy.

[catcrazylady]

I remember Tuscany/Dougie!! I fell in love with him as soon as I saw him!! I know I have a thing for all cats but there is something about the orange and white that just seems to draw me. Maybe its because most of them are friendly or maybe its because it reminds me of Leroy. No matter! I just love Tuscany/Dougie and I'm so glad the surgery will at least stop further damage. I bet he can't wait to come back home to you Jen. Poor little fellow.
I would really like to see some more pictures of this sweetheart when he comes home. PLEASE!!!:D :D :D :D http://petoftheday.com/talk/images/our_smilies/biggrin.gif
