Bebe, Gigi, and Cici are Domestic Shorthair kittens in Raleigh, NC, who needs $2,000 for eye surgery.

Carolina Cat Rescue has a big goal, and they're optimistic you can help! All they want is for the three nearly blind kittens they saved: Bebe, Cici, and Gigi, to see the families that will eventually adopt them.

The sibling trio ended up in a shelter at risk of being euthanized because the facility was full. Karie K. from the rescue tells Waggle the moment the group saw the sweet kittens, they knew they needed help, "It was heartbreaking. They were tiny, about four weeks old. They could not see and were struggling to find the food in the shelter. Older kittens were pushing them away."

The rescue realized saving Bebe, Cici and Gigi would result in significant medical bills. "It was clear the kittens were suffering in the shelter, and we knew upfront the cost to save them would stretch our small budget," Karie says. "They had active eye infections, major swelling, and obvious corneal scarring that was affecting their ability to see. But once you looked past their obvious impairment, what we could see was loving kittens who needed a chance. I said, 'kittens are so resilient, we have to give them a try."

The kittens are now in a foster home, and the eye medication they are receiving has helped decrease the inflammation and fight off the infection caused by the herpes virus. Karie is hopeful surgery performed by the veterinary medical team at Animal Eye Care Associates will help remove much of the scarring and give them all a second chance to see. "We are committed to helping them regain as much sight as possible. The hope is one day they will be able to see the love of their new family," Karie says.
