Lumi was born with a rare condition. Will you be her hero?

When Lumi was born, her world was already dark, but she never seemed to notice. At just five months old, this tiny kitten moves through life with quiet confidence. She tilts her head when she hears your voice, chases jingling toys by sound, and curls into your hands like she’s known you forever.

Lumi was born with a rare condition called severe microphthalmos, which means her eyes never developed properly. She cannot see, and her eyes are very small and hidden beneath her eyelids. Though the condition isn’t painful, it leaves her vulnerable to infection and discomfort as she grows.

Lumi is scheduled for a delicate surgery with Grant Veterinary Hospital, to be spayed and remove both eyes. With your help, she can live comfortably and pain-free. She will never gain her sight, but once recovered, she’ll be ready to explore her world by scent and sound, learning her surroundings and melting hearts wherever she goes.

This surgery will give Lumi comfort, safety, and freedom. But it comes at a cost. Your donation will help cover her surgical expenses and ongoing care as she heals and prepares for adoption, a forever home that will see her for who she truly is: a tiny beacon of courage.

Thank you to everyone who supported Lumi on her healing journey! We are happy to share that she has been adopted into her forever home, who has renamed her Gracie Mae, and she has a fur sibling who was also born blind. We are thrilled she is now living her best life.
