Rescuing a blind street kitten

[@strixaluco7423]

when you hear "there were simply no eyes left to save" it really hurts the soul

[@mohamedelkayal2068]

@Computer User naturally even with blind humans. If they know the place they'll move around easily because they know the place by heart. If they get out then they're exploring an unknown region.

[@rosemarieosborn8625]

I just cried when I heard that, broke my heart but at the end it was good to know that they both ended up in a good home. :)

[@skeleton13-]

@Computer User I'd say blind cats should stay inside so they don't get hurt. Like if something fell next to them and they didn't notice, they could get hurt. All cats knock things over, humans as well, dogs as well.

[@DRock7977]

[@nofrad122]

[@isiriscasiano3719]

It was hard to watch, but it turned out so well! Guapo looks like my cat. She was a stray/feral mommy in our courtyard. It took several years to gain her trust, but we ultimately were able to bring her indoors.

[@audreyplaysnice2086]

When I had found a blind kitty, the vet told me their eyes swell up to the size of grapes and then they burst. That's why he said, "She simply had no eyes left to save." It may be confusing because he also said, "she would have a procedure called enucleation where the eyes are removed." He meant the eye remnants which were left after they had already burst will be removed. The infection is usually caused by chlamydia they got from their mother's birth canal. This infection is also possible in humans and it's why doctors put antibacterial ointment into the eyes of a baby immediately after birth. My girl's name was Charity and she lived a long happy life, with no trouble getting around the house. Their whiskers sense air currents so minute they won't run into walls. Their ears tell them almost exactly where a noise is coming from. We would play a game of chase where I would clap my hands and she would run to me, then I would go to the other side of the room and do it again. She found it fun. I think her hunting instincts were engaged by the noise. She survived outside to adulthood before I was able to catch her. I figured out how she had found food on her own after an American Cockroach got into the house. Their legs make a distinct skittering noise on hard floors. She hunted it down in less than a minute. I was grossed out when she immediately started eating it, crunching the crispy carapace. I think my other cats who were watching the spectacle were also grossed out!

[@SoniaRossi72]

I was shocked! Imagine a human having that size of swelling?! Poor little angel.

[@sierradavis562]

the fact that she’s blind and shows her belly.. that’s trust. that is how you raise a cat and how they should feel

[@the1tigglet]

Mine love to do this all the time, until my most recent rescue, sadly she came out with eyesight issues that we didn't know about, that were just bad enough that she is afraid of the dark. Just tonight the power went out for the whole neighborhood right when we were giving out her treats. She had to have about 30 minutes to calm down in the living room before she felt safe to follow me into the office, a safe zone i created for her so she'd always feel there was a place to hide and recover. We have everything in here, and most of the time in here she loves it and shows her belly but she won't in other rooms of the house because she's anxious, especially at night where there are shadows. We have grown acustomed though to leaving certain lights on (the catbox, the water and food bowls, the hallway, one section of the living room she has to go through to get to the box) but we've managed to keep costs down by using led lighting. If I knew how I would do everything I could or give up something I enjoy just so she wouldn't have to feel that way ever again! It kills me sometimes, because I am disabled, a Fibromyalgia patient, and fibro goes right along with deep depression and deep anxiety, I'm on three medications to keep mine under control. I got her before I got this disease if anyone wonders why I can't afford medication for her.

I know right? When I rescued a kitten, I gave him a flea bath and he just looked at me like, how could you do this to me?! I trusted you. And now you're trying to drown me?! Lol. Afterwards when he was asleep for the first time in a soft bed inside a warm apartment with food and water by his side, he looked like he was in heaven. Like I'll never forget that peaceful look in his face. It's the little things in life that make me happy. I think he slept for two days. Found him a forever home soon after.

I adopted a cat who had his eyes removed and the eyelids sowed shut. He acts like a completely normal cat, he can even play fetch and played normally with my other cat chasing her around, he jumps on all the furniture and barely ever bumps into anything. It’s amazing that they don’t need their sight at all. Please never put down cats just for their blindness. I couldn’t imagine my life without my cat he’s amazing and I even forget that he’s blind there is no impairment to his life at all ❤️

Every small step counts...there are many stray cats outside our apartment and my parents won't allow them into the house so all I can do is buy catfood and go out for a walk while feeding as much as I can find

[@SKinSKorea]

I got my 3rd cat (my "extra" cat) when he got sick (calicivirus and stomatitis) and begged me to take him home one cold December. He was an ear-tipped local stray who for months had been living in front of a convenience store. I'd been feeding him and petting him and I'd see others do so as well. I really didn't plan on a 3rd cat. It took two months of quarantine before he could even be introduced to my other two, and I had them vaccinated for calicivirus even after he got the all clear. The vets estimated his age at about 5 years (same as my other two). As he was older, black and white shorthair, and had chronic problems, I realized I would unlikely find him a home, so he stayed! When we got his diagnosis of CKD (I had noticed foamy pee) I was initially panicked. I think I over-googled and saw only the worse. His stomatitis was initially treated with steroids and antibiotics, but he had regular flare ups and over the years they lost effectiveness. I live in a small town and my vet care is limited, but last summer we drove (3 times!) an hour to a clinic that was able to do dental extractions. The pre-surgery bloodwork actually showed a lot of improvement over his initial bloodwork I had done nearly 3 years before when I first took him in. The surgery was expensive (I'm a teacher! and vet care in Korea isn't cheap!) but successful! For the past 8+ months, no flare ups or pain, and while he gets considerably more wet food, he can still eat kibble. He plays, he cuddles, and he's my sweetheart! I still harbor some guilt for the months that I knew him on the street. If I had considered taking in a dirty street cat when I first met him, he might never have gotten so sick, Can't undo the past, though. Now I have 3 fat, happy indoor cats who have been such great therapy during this pandemic.

[@UsernamesForDummies]

Anyone else encouraged her loudly, saying “You can do it!” when Aria tried to jump onto the coffee table? We adopted an old, blind dog who had been bitten by other dogs and mistreated for many years. He became a wonderful companion. So brave...jumping off ledges he’s never encountered before, running into the surf, and generally running around, as if he was able to see. Sometimes, he’d run into a wall or furniture, fall down, get up, shake his head and keep on going. The vet said, he was old and had about three years to live. He lived another seven! In the end, he died because his heart was too big. I think that diagnosis described him perfectly. It was the most rewarding thing, and as much love as we gave to him, he repaid us tenfold. His name was Hermann. RIP.

It's not that bad for a cat. Cats rely mostly on smells and signals from their whiskers. You'd be surprised to see how they manage to do everything the other cats do, without any problem. I've seen blind cats stalk other cats for fun, or play with them effortlessly. We can learn big lessons from them.

I had two blind cats in my life, I had one that sadly died 2 years after I got her due to an illness. now I have a big fat blind cat for 5 years now. The myths that you need to put blind cats down due to this is COMPLETELY UNTRUE. They are just as much of a cat as any other. They jump, they run, they navigate through the house without any problems. They love, they cuddle, are there for you and want your love and attention as much. Due to them not being able to see, they take life on differently but in a good way. They adapt and are cute cats for life. They just need a home and to not let them outside as they will get lost. If you consider wanting to take in a cat, adopt a blind cat, you will NOT regret it. I sure know I did not and will never.

but its just me or the cat can see little bit ? i think she can see slightly something

[@cinderheartmeow6032]

Alin Mateiu - Once the infection died down it is possible that she may have retained some sight in her left eye (ie: ability to see light and shadows) but once a cat looses all (or most) of their sight, especially at a young age or birth, their sense of smell, muscle memory, pattern recognition, whiskers, and hearing become their new eyes. These senses are often amplified to make up for the lost sight, and some blind cats can be a bit wonky at using their senses to navigate at first. That’s why it’s seems so hard for her to navigate areas where she hasn’t been and it’s easy sailing after she’s explored the place at least once.

[@carmelopappalardo8477]

We have a blind cat. He was found on the streets. He had a brother and a father. The brother did not make it while the father did. Yes they looked exactly alike. We do not know how he survived but he did. It took $3,000 in surgery just to ensure his survival. He had other physical issues as well. He is a wonderful cat and we would never give him up. He plays with the other cats. It is funny that if he is chasing one cat if that cat stands still the blind one just walks past. He also needs to be with us more than any of the other cats. He is incredible!

His eyes are healed and beautiful. Also I do love the name Arya, with the Cat of the Canals arch while Arya was blind.

Why in the world would anyone give any of these videos a thumbs down? They are all awesome!

[@tomtracy1786]

Because unlike the guy in this video,a lot of humans are assholes taking up space and oxygen on the planet

There will always be "trolls", unfortunately. Too much spare time and too little intelligence.

Thank you ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

One of my cats was in a similar situation. He developed an infection in one eye, causing his mother to abandon him when he was a few weeks old. A friend of mine found him and was able to get him to the vet. He had surgery to remove his infected eye, was neutered, and despite being high risk he recovered completely. My friend fostered him through his recovery, but due to unforeseen medical issues she had to make the difficult choice to re-home him. She messaged me about being interested in fostering or adopting him, and since orange cats are my weakness (at the time I had two orange cats and one gray cat) I jumped at the chance to add to my menagerie. It's been close to a year now since I adopted him, and he's the coolest cat in the world.

4:11 Made me realize just how great of a person you are! That Kitten had no chance without you. Now she's learning to adjust to life being blind. so many great things going on here.

[@Bentami]

Ahhh lofi, cute cats, heartwarming ending, and good people. cannot ask for more

[@clairebiermann4712]

She really behaves like a littl sister, the way she's biting him 😂❤️

[@rickbrenner6079]

It's so adorable the way Arya gently bites Guapo:)

[@Gdub33]

We had to feed our cat with the syringe too. She was very sick when I adopted her when I was age 17. She is STILL alive. Although she has a blood clot in the major artery in her back so she's woken up a few times without any sensation in her hind legs. We took care of her both times and she recovered. She's now 17 going on 18.

[@413jmee]

it's 4 in the morning and i'm crying alone in my dorm because of this video

[@manuginobilisbaldspot424]

1:52 made me start crying...it’s like she instinctively is holding herself because she can’t see and is trying to be comforted.

[@Marauder1981]

I rescued 2 cats (Mother and her little daughter) who were mortally sick. At first I wasn´t sure I could deal with it and hesitated for a few days. One of the kittens I originally had chosen died over night in the shelter. That gave me the push I needed. Although the shelter employees said that they cannot give me sick animals I could convince them that I have the better capabilities to care for them. I took them home and spent most of my time desinfecting and cleaning, giving them medicine and caring for them. But after two weeks they both recovered. Now I have the most cutest furballs who follow me wherever I go without any concern. Sure a few things are chronic, like a starting Asthma with the mother and her arthritis. The daughter gets herpes once a year and I have to look out for her getting a cold once a year. But that´s okay. One important thing, if you adopt sick cats, mind that you need more money for doctors since they are damaged goods. One should have a stable income.

That's really nice to hear.

May God bless you for taking care of these babies and loving them...💖💖

Yes - and lots of time!!

'Damaged goods' ?

God bless savers who save the poor blind kitten, take care, love and feed,give a home

[@Dominus4776]

It always breaks my heart to see cats go through stuff like this, but knowing there are people like you that go out of their way to help brings back happiness

[@Superjembling]

Ya'll are heaven sent. Thank you so much. ❤

[@v.dargain1678]

That they are .

[@1940limited]

In 40 years of cat ownership we've never had any problems introducing another cat to the residents. Maybe we're lucky, but the transition for us has always been just about instantaneous.

[@8kSarah]

It is so hard losing little angels...we are so selfish driving crazy and killing them....my little angel my little baby i miss you! Why did you leave me so early?

[@beckycruckshank8421]

That poor baby, seeing her eye swollen like that seriously broke my heart 😭🥺 it must have been so hard for you watching her eye swell and all the pain she must have been going through, and having an inability to do more. Thank you so much for helping this precious little sweetheart and not giving up on her 💕 such a happy ending, now she can have the life she truly deserves and it’s all thanks to you

[@Shiroze]

4:14 Gosh, when she made that jump I was so happy :D

[@jevonp]

i got so happy when she finally hopped on the table! haha

[@gow2575]

Such a great work ! Thank you so much !

[@whobeme10]

i fostered a kitten like this as well and it's SO wonderful once they get the infection removed and the eye surgery all healed. for the first time in their little lives they are not in pain and i think thats the true reward here, instead of lamenting over the lost eyesight.

[@stephaniemccullough4039]

I rescue on Camano island, Washington. I have had some really miraculous recovers. Some losses that always take a piece of you. So wonderful what you are doing. Sad that there are so many homeless in the city. Breaks my heart. Thank you for your loving souls.

[@irish892E]

Thank you for putting your heart out there for the fur babies. There can never be to many people like you and the ones in these videos

[@trish1898]

I do rescue in Dallas Tx. It can be so heartbreaking at times but so well worth it in the long run, as Im sure you know. Ty for doing your part where you live. 🌟

[@brazgazz]

Homeless housecats always break my heart, likewise homeless house-people.

[@annapollitt9160]

I cheered when she finally jumped on the table.

[@Mad.Chemist]

3:37 That crawling under the sofa 🤣. So funny 😆

[@herpderp3916]

We just fostered a blind kitten who showed up at my grandma's house after a bad storm. She was two pounds, maybe 11 weeks when we found her, was all scraggly and had fleas, ear mites, and infected eyes, but just wanted to be held and petted and be around people. She was such a little fighter, and after we got her medication for her problems she was crazy and energetic just like a normal kitten. Because we have a dog with a high prey drive, we couldn't keep her, but we gave her to a coworker friend who fell in love with her. Now she's got a house to run around in and a big brother to play with. The whole thing made me think of Aria, and it was reassuring to know that she still had a good chance to live a happy life.

[@davidstauffer4093]

We rescued a tiny kitten about 3 weeks back. Was in the back ally dying. Same exact deal. Respiratory infection and messed up eyes. Exact approach. She is so sweet. Seems to be adapting well. Definitely blind though.

[@fairleychang216]

A couple badasses with hearts of gold! thumbs up if you agree

[@765respect]

Such a beautiful story. It was so suspenseful and then relaxing watching the story unfold. Love your voice and music choices. This was the best arrangement of storytelling I have ever watched on KZbin. TY!

[@heatherstub]

This is possibly my favorite, or maybe it's tied with the most recent one, Teddy. I love them all!

[@timothyholcomb8494]

Heather stubbs its hard finding a favorite, they are all so adorable & loving. My ex wife and I have fostered a ton of kittens, and done a lot of TNR also

[@irish892E]

Yeah Teddy is pretty awesome

Aria is such an angel. Sight or no sight. They are all precious lives.

[@NowyouknowMusic]

Y’all make us have faith in good people. Thank you for caring!

[@jakephillips4453]

This Is the same situation our little kitty was in when we found her on the street. Alone, eyes almost swollen shut and upper respiratory infection. Thankfully she pulled through. Her eyes are ok and she’s growing up now. She had the sneezes for a long time and still does this gurgled breathing at times. But she has regular check ups at the vet and she’s getting better day by day. Thank you for taking care of Aria.

[@andresa1963]

It is quite refreshing to see a video made by righteous people .... thank you.

[@plasticseal2556]

I said "ohhhhhhhh" out loud about 50x in this video. so well done and great rescue. subscribed

[@brielle7226]

You mean " awwww" right? "Ohhhhh" sounds a bit weird

[@jeand207]

I have to stop watching these vids, my heart cant take all the suffering these unfortunate cats has gone through, even with the happy endings of the videos. Im a grown ass man, i shouldnt be crying this much...!

[@paulo4034]

Me too

[@aesaphyr]

Thank you for making this video. I rescued a little kitten who had eye infections and a pneumonia too. One eye was damaged beyond saving. Like your kitten, he was too small and unwell for surgery immediately. He's now just had his enucleation and is recovering. It's such a difficult time for a pet parent - you just want them to be okay but there's no such guarantee in these difficult times...

[@coconutsciencegirl9232]

Guapo:”you feed me and we can be friends” I can relate. My kinda dude.

[@IoanaRG]

Seeing all these cats abandoned just breaks my heart.
