The shelter’s attempt to find a home for a blind kitten with advanced glaucoma proved to be a challenge as nobody seemed interested in adopting the unique feline. Fortunately, Maria stumbled upon an ad for the special kitten and decided to take a chance on him. Despite the shelter’s previous struggles, Maria gave the kitten the loving home he deserved.
The kitten caught the attention of the girl, who felt an instant connection and decided to lend a helping hand. She took the little one to the vet clinic, where it was discovered that the kitten was born blind.
Maria revealed that the kitten’s right eye couldn’t be saved and required surgery. She mentioned that the previous caretakers neglected to treat his ailment, which led to severe glaucoma and the eventual removal of the eye. With a new lease on life, Thomas, as he was affectionately named, quickly bounced back after the procedure. Maria became the kitty’s new owner, and in due time, Thomas thrived and showcased his charming personality.
Right from the start, Thomas made it clear who was in charge at home with his loud meows and persistent begging for food by climbing onto his owner’s lap. Despite being blind, he lives life to the fullest like any healthy cat. He effortlessly navigates through space, plays with toys, catches objects mid-air, and uses a scratching post. As an adult cat, Thomas still manages to surprise his owners every day with his resilience and ability to find happiness despite his past struggles. His story is a testament to the strength and adaptability of animals.
