God Bless You again Melissa for caring

I wish I could help , but I ahve my eye on a Little Tabby and White Shy Kitten;
We are praying that your Dear Little Stray can find her place in the sun.

Thank you again Melissa. It's hard some times to pick up on a deaf cat. Lenny is deaf and for the most part you would never know. He is the BEST fridge alarm I have ever seen. I don't know if he feels the vibration of the door opening or what.
She is a beautiful girl

Melissa, I rescued a kitten that both I and the new cat dad thought was deaf. My vet was out of town so I took her to another vet that a friend recommended. She was awful and I will never go to her again. The kitten didn't respond to our voices or to loud noises, whistles, etc. It turns out she had such bad ear mites that it was causing hearing impairment and the vet either didn't notice or neglected to tell me. It took a while to get rid of them but now she can hear just fine. My Creamsicle is deaf, too, but she feels vibrations, especially the garage door going up and down so a deaf cat can get along just fine as long as it remains indoors, of course. Good luck w/finding her a home. Poor little thing deserves security and love. I'm thinking that she might not have gotten much of either in her last home.

I will check with my sister and see, I know she said her ears were dirty and she was going to give her a day or two to rest and then try to clean them out, I'll check with her.

Thanks!
Melissa

A vet will have to check her out. He'll use that special scope b/c they could be so far in there that your sister wouldn't be able to see them.

I saw Ruby 2 weekends ago and I walked into my sister's house and the door shut behind and Ruby never moved. Poor girl I had to go up to her and look at her and finally she noticed me.

She is so sweet. My sister will be taking her to the vets soon. She continues to clean out her ears but there isn't much in them now. I checked them out and they looked pretty good, I know vets have that scope thing but I'm really thinking she is deaf.

My sister ran the vaccum cleaner right next to her and nothing. She never moved.

If you all could please cross post that we are looking for a forever home for her we'd appreciate it.

Thank you,
Melissa
