Callie & Bonnie

I received a phone call on a very hot July 3rd day. It was from my rescue friend who told me that there were some kittens in an empty lot and kids were throwing firecrackers at them. My husband left immediately to rescue them. He came back an hour later with 2 kittens both 2 months old. They had severe eye infections, fleas and worms. As soon as I put some food and water in front of them they walked out of the carrier and gobbled like they were starving. Then they walked to me and gave me a head butt thank you and laid down next to me. My heart melted. After a trip to the vet, it turned out Callie was completely blind and her sister Bonnie had lost the sight in one eye. We treated their eye infections, but the sight was gone for good. This didn't hinder them at all. They were both the sweetest cats ever and we decided they were ours for life. I have been a cat mama for decades but I have never known 2 cats as smart and loving as our Callie and Bonnie. We were lucky enough to have their love for 15 years and then they crossed the rainbow bridge, which broke our hearts. We will never forget you, our little rescues. You were such a blessing.
