Getting a cat from a shelter or the street is no small feat, but adopting a cat with special needs is much more difficult. The fate of these cats is usually very sad: either long years in a shelter, or adoption, or first the first and then the second. Few dare to take on this burden and try to help hairballs in trouble.
In 2014 workers found 3 kittens in a warehouse in Dubai. At that time, the kittens were seriously ill and difficult to save, but the doctors succeeded. Although the kittens’ lives were saved, the vets couldn’t save the babies’ sight as the infection did its dirty work. All three went blind despite their best efforts.
A girl took in 3 cats from a shelter that no one had taken in for a long time because they were blind. 22 hours ago Getting a cat from a shelter or the streets is no small feat, but adopting an animal with special needs is much more difficult.
The fate of these cats is generally very sad: either long years in a shelter, or adoption, or first the first then the second. Few dare to take on this burden and try to help hairballs in trouble.
In 2014 workers found 3 kittens in a warehouse in Dubai. At that time, the kittens were seriously ill and difficult to save, but the doctors succeeded. Although the kittens’ lives were saved, the vets couldn’t save the babies’ sight as the infection did its dirty work. All three went blind despite their best efforts.
No one at the shelter had much hope of adopting the babies, but soon a man decided to take in one of the rescued babies. It turned out that it wasn’t for long. He returned the cub after a while, saying the cat was lethargic and barely moving.
At the same time, at the shelter, surrounded by his two blind sisters, the cat was doing well. The vets concluded that the cub had begun to waste away due to the separation.
After that, animal advocates at the shelter realized that they couldn’t separate the kittens, but that would destroy the already slim chance of finding the owners because no one would dare to take three blind kittens from them at the same time.
Nevertheless, miracles could happen. The kittens had been at the shelter for over a year when a young girl, Catherine Magno, stumbled upon them. She has kept many kittens in her life, but she has never had a blind one.
She has never had a blind man. After reading their story, she couldn’t bear to leave them at the shelter and decided to adopt them by all means. Beforehand, she inquired about the advice of owners who already had blind cats. It was scary for Catherine, because of all the problems people told her about.
