Just think - the first thing this sweet baby is ever going to see is Jesus! Please pray for the people who adopted her.
Rescued Kitten Without Eyes Proves That Love Is Blind
By Stephen Messenger
Hope the cat may be blind, but fortunately love is too.
The 4-month old kitten was rescued in December after being found wandering through a parking lot in Burlington, Canada. Born completely blind as a result of microphthalmia, a condition which caused her eyes not to develop properly, the helpless youngster stood little chance of surviving long on her own.
Hope was placed into the hands of staff at the Burlington Humane Society. Caregivers there soon determined that special little kitty would need surgery to remove her underdeveloped eyes, which were causing her discomfort.
Even though it was going to be an expensive operation, they were determined to get her the help she needed — and they weren't alone.
As word spread about Hope, donations for the procedure began pouring in from children and adults alike. One youngster named Katelyn even decided to forgo asking presents for herself on her birthday, instead requesting her friends and family pitch in for Hope's surgery.
In February, with enough funds raised, Hope underwent a successful operation. But with that hurdle behind her, she was well on her way to getting what she needed most: a forever home to call her own.
Although Hope will require special care throughout her life from a very attentive human companion, it didn't take her long to find one. Just a few weeks into her recovery, the Humane Society announced that the kitten had found someone who would love her, differences and all.
Despite being unable to see, Hope quickly settled in to her new home with her humans, claiming a cozy place on the couch where she can bask in the warmth of a lifetime of affection.
