Cora was doing fine when her new owner (Alana) called to say that she had arrived in Raleigh. Cora flew from Grand Rapids to Cincinnati to Raleigh, on Delta Airlines. The temperatures were right for the flights (i.e. less than 85 degrees). One thing that Alana suggested that I do was write "Blind Cat!" in several places on Cora's crate...

The agents at the ticket counter were ooh-ing and ah-ing over Cora and called her a "miracle kitty" after I told them how Cora had survived the Michigan winter in spite of being blind. They also wanted to know how on earth did I find a home for her? I told them about Pet Talk (and how dozens of folks on Pet Talk were helping me to find a home for Cora), and about Blindcatrescue. The airline agents were astounded that such help and such incredible pet advocates existed!

I don't know any more of the details about how the flight was for Cora. It was a four-hour trip, all told. I will ask Alana for more details about how Cora was acting when she picked Cora up.

Alana emailed to tell me that she's making an appointment for Cora with an eye specialist. She's wondering about Cora's trauma-damaged eye. The vet that I took Cora to said that the eyeball might have to be removed at some point, if it continued to swell over time. We'll see what the eye specialist says.

Alana also wrote that Cora was sleeping comfortably on her daughter's bed.

I'll update you more, soon!
