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

Hi All-

I called Shirley to see if she got an appt. with the vets and she said she is going to wait till next week to take it in and let it rest for this weekend.

She said it is eating and drinking just fine. I'm semi-ticked off right now that she isn't taking it to the vets but I called my vets and they won't see her today unless I can pay for it today. (I owe my vet some money right now).

Anyway, I asked Shirley does she think that's safe with her lump on the back and Shirley said yes it should be fine.

The girl cat did blink her eye lid even though she has no eyes and Shirley doesn't think the vet will do much with them anyway. I just can't afford to take her to the vets unless I'd get enough donations back then I could but otherwise I guess I'll have to wait and let Shirley think she knows best in the case but I'm just not so sure at this one because of how skinny she looked. Plus I found a dead cat on the property that died from something. Well that's all for now.

Melissa it will all work out.. Shirley sounds if she knows what to do.. Yes this being Friday is prob a good idea to let the kitty settle & rest before going to the Vets.. Alot of the times the weekends give you time to watch the actions & ect of the baby to do a evaluation to just see what the babies needs will be.. Many thanks for your such Hard Work you have done for all of the babies.. I know your so devoted to them & your kindness & work is so Greatly Appreciated Melissa..

Thank you, I hope it will. Shirley has done rescuing a lot longer than me and I guess I just panic a bit sometimes.

Thank you,
Melissa

Oh that poor baby! Why would someone have that surgery done on a cat and then let it outdoors? Am I missing something here? Thank God you were there, Melissa. My heart breaks for that little one. I'm so grateful to you for taking good care of her.

I get the feeling that maybe she was born feral and without eyes...?

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.

Thank you Melissa for all your hard work. As you know I have a blind baby, well all most blind. One eye is completly clouded over and the left is semi clouded. Dobe is the sweetest thing in the house. So I will do what I can to help.

Oh my what a story!

I doubt that kitty was born wild. For one thing, she is content with humans, and using a litter box, eating and so forth. And you say she seems semi-adult, but hard to tell as she is so thin. Sounds more like someone dumped her off at the farm. Lucky her to get caught in your trap before something caught her!

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