This poor little guy arrived Saturday evening in very poor condition.
He was abandoned at a neighbor’s yard sale by a homeless lady.
The kitten was extremely malnourished and dehydrated. One of his eyes
has never formed properly and he will be blind in that eye. It looked
like I treated the other eye and it received medical treatment in just
the nick of time and will be saved. It has an ulcer right now that is
being treated but it should recover soon. Just in 48 hours he has made
an amazing amount of progress. He has gone from a lifeless little kitten
that was cold and on death’s door to an alert, warm, happy little
kitten that can stand and eat on his own and tonight just started playing
with a mouse toy. He has already had expensive medical costs due to
the severe medical attention he required and several follow up visits
for monitoring his condition are scheduled. I think he is going to make
an amazing addition to someone’s home if they can overlook his
missing eye. We are still working on a special name for this courageous
little one. He is approximately five weeks old and is a beautiful white
and gray long haired male kitten. Can you believe the progress?
