Being a member of Animal Welfare Network, I got a call to pick up a kitten that had been tossed into a bin and was rescued by someone. When I arrived to get the kitten, I did not expect to find that it was blind. Both eyes were disfigured. I took it to the vet where AWN deals with abandoned animals, only to be told by the assistant, that it was to be put down because no one would want a blind kitten. They were having enough problems trying to rehome the normal ones. I just could not leave him there. I did not know how I was going to handle a blind kitten with my already 6 abandoned cats.After a few visits to my vet, I realized that nothing could be done to restore his sight.
Fighta Is now approximately 2 years old. So named because he loves to play fight and has a temper. He hides and pounces on the others, even me. He goes most places all the other cats goes with no problems, even on top my house using an old coconut tree stump to climb and follow the others.
At night I make sure he is inside not trusting to leave him to his wandering.
I've never regretted taking him in. He's such a joy to to have along with the others.
