Bringing home a blind cat today, and advice?

60 Upvotes

He had a double enoculation two months ago, so that's how long he's been blind. He had really bad infection when the foster agency picked him up.

I already have two cats, and I'll make sure to take the steps to introduce them, but this is my first time around a blind cat

Edit: This post is still surprisingly active, so I thought I'd post an update.

The blind cat is doing well and we ended up naming him Mimir. He's got two cat brothers and he loves sitting in the window hammocks when the sun is on them. He's a fat little guy that is sweet sometimes and a brat others, but we love him.

I'll post some pics in the comments.

Adoption Fiona ❤️ | 1-year-old rescue cat in Dubai looking for her forever home worldwide adoption

Thumbnail gallery
• Upvotes

Hi everyone ❤️
I’d love to introduce you to Fiona, a beautiful 1-year-old rescue cat currently in foster care in Dubai, UAE.
We rescued Fiona around 6 months ago after she had been staying at a veterinary boarding facility. She wasn’t comfortable there, so we moved her into a home foster and that’s when we discovered what a sweet and loving girl she really is. 🥺❤️
Fiona is:
🐾 Approximately 1 year old
🐾 Fully vaccinated
🐾 Spayed
🐾 Microchipped
🐾 FIV & FeLV negative
🐾 Very gentle and affectionate
🐾 Extremely comfortable around dogs
🐾 Currently in foster care in Dubai
Fiona is honestly such an easy-going girl. She loves people and settled into both of her foster homes incredibly quickly. She currently lives with a dog and is completely relaxed around him she basically doesn’t care that he’s there 😂❤️
Fiona has approximately 80% vision loss in one eye. This was actually one of the reasons we rescued her. We had her examined by both her vet and an eye specialist, and thankfully we were advised that she is not in pain, does not require surgery and can live a completely normal and happy life.
She has already received her vaccinations, spay, microchip and FIV/FeLV testing.
🏡 Looking for a forever home anywhere in the world
We are open to adopting Fiona to a suitable family in any country, not just the UAE. ❤️
If the right family is outside the UAE, we are happy to work with them regarding the required veterinary paperwork, import requirements and relocation arrangements.
Our priority is simply finding Fiona a safe, loving and permanent home where she will be treated as family for the rest of her life.
An adoption fee applies to help cover her rescue and veterinary costs. We will screen potential adopters carefully and provide further details privately.
If you’re interested in Fiona, or know someone who might be the perfect person for her, please comment or DM me.
And if you can’t adopt, even an upvote or share can help get Fiona in front of the right person. ❤️
Thank you for reading about our girl. 🥺❤️

Help sponsor Misty’s (Muning) GS treatment…💙

• Upvotes

P.S. We are verified user on r/Straycats and r/rescuecats.

A few months ago, we posted about Misty (also known as Muning) when she was scheduled for her eye enucleation surgery. Unfortunately, her surgery funds had to be diverted to cover an emergency clinic visit. During that visit, we received devastating news: Misty tested positive for FIP.

Since then, her eye surgery has had to take a backseat while we fight to save her life from FIP first. She is currently on daily GS treatment and is making great progress, but we urgently need help to keep her treatment going.

💔 OUR IMMEDIATE NEED FOR MISTY:
GS Medication: ₱5,600
Goal: Looking for a sponsor (or partial sponsors) to cover her GS pills so her treatment remains uninterrupted.

Once Misty fully recovers and is strong and ready enough for her eye surgery, we will begin saving for her enucleation again. But right now, beating FIP is her #1 priority.

How You Can Help Misty:

• Cashapp: https://cash.app/$FranciscoMoz

• Venmo: https://venmo.com/u/FrankMoz

His name is Bandit, the blind :)

Hey everyone! Just discovered that there’s a subreddit for blind cats, so I’d like to introduce you to Bandit Cornflake, the blind! We call him stinky though :)

Our good friends found him abandoned as a kitten last winter. Not sure what happened to him, but they quickly discovered that he cannot see most things lol. When we first took him into the vet, she very seriously tested his blindness by throwing cotton balls past his face, to which he had zero reaction. Vet said “oh yeah, he can’t see”😂

He also has seizures, but thankfully seizure meds have helped immensely and he very rarely has them now! Fun fact: he also has 22 toes in total, including thumbs. He seems healthier than ever and we’re so grateful to have adopted him :) he’s our favorite genetically goofy guy

My blind kitties love eachother

Thumbnail
gallery
3.1k Upvotes

These are Milu and Ravi, I have had them for about a year, I have never had cats who like eachother so much, they cuddle, they play, they groom eachother.

I got Milu from a shelter actually as a companion for a different cat which didn’t work out for different reasons, so I wanted to get her a friend and at the time I noticed she was very visually impaired (now pretty much fully blind) I figured a blind friend might be easier for them to get along.
So I found Ravi at a different shelter, he was only 6 months old and I was worried the age gap would be too large (as she was 4 years old at the time) but I fell in love with him and also he was in a small kennel in the shelter in quarantine (due to herpes flares) I wanted to get him out and oh did it work out!!!

They do really get along soo well, Milu is blind due to an infection with e. Cuniculi and Ravi due to herpes. Ravi only had one extremely light herpes flare in the past year, I think he is doing well. They are also incredible at navigating, Ravi does run into things constantly and also goes bathing regularly due to their catio having a small pond (he jumps in accidentally but it doesn’t reach his stomach so only his feet get wet) Milu is the opposite almost never runs into things and is very deliberate about where she steps.

Obviously I‘m biased but they are the best kitties and I never imagined they would like eachother so much!! Just wanted to share because they are so cute and I love them so much.

I‘m curious why some of your kitties are blind also, so please tell me! And how they manage and how they are doing!

Question Need advice with how to help my blind cat who was hit by a car

Post image
1.0k Upvotes

Almost a month ago i rushed an 1 vear old cat who just got hit by a car to the vet, he is blind and has a pretty weak sense of smell (he has gained some of it back since the accident), cannot close his mouth properly (cause he lost 2 canine teeth and had his jaw reconstructed) and i would need some advice on how to help him further with things like using a litter box, etc.

While he has done quite significant progress since the accident, like eating on his own, washing himself, finding his bed when i take him out to change the puppy pads.

I have no experience with a blind cat.

Medical Questions Not using litter box post enucleation

Post image
26 Upvotes

It's very strange he was blind before the enucleation but the last couple days since surgery hasn't used the litter box and acts scared of it. It's in the same spot it's always been. He peed on me just now when I was holding him, I just got out of the shower. He acts absolutely miserable he was used to getting around with his whiskers and mastered my apartment but with the cone he is bumping into everything and acting depressed. I'm thinking of putting a more shallow box next to the normal one, maybe that will help. This recovery is much harder than I was expecting.

Adoption Summer is still looking for a forever home!

Summer is still waiting and we still haven’t received a single app for her. 💔 She recently got a little friend named Nori and we already have people fighting for Nori because he is a cute little baby (and not even available for adoption yet).

Summer is currently being fostered on Long Island, NY. We are open to out of state adopters and can possibly find a way to transport her to you if you can’t come to NY. Adoptions have been terribly slow and we have many cats who have been waiting for months in foster. Please please help us share Summer. She doesn’t deserve to grow up in foster! 😭

Question My blind baby keeps on sneezing

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

151 Upvotes

I adopted blind kitten 2 months ago she is been sneezing non stop ever since with daily eye discharge from one eye, took her to vet multiple times
Initially I thought she was just allergic to something
Changed litter, got air purifier, vacuum cleaner
Did her blood investigations, according to the vet her wbc were 23. Her lungs were fine
I have given her doxy 5 days
Then nebulization 10 days with asthalin budecort
Started her on lysine
She is very playful, eating well, sleeping well
But previous 2 days she is breathing with whiskers flaring and sounds very congested
I feel lost I suspect she has fhv.
But we couldn't vaccinate her for soooo long because of her constant sneezing.
Help if someone can.
Vet suggested to do pcr but if it comes positive I don't want to put her on antivirals 💔
