I trapped a Blind Cat (Pictures May Be Disturbing) Back from Vet Appt.
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
