Our Rescue was contacted about 3 outside kittens around 3 months old. We were able to pick 2 up, but Taylor had to be trapped. He had one good eye and one bad eye, probably giving him great discomfort, and was quite scared. The vet saw Taylor that day, and performed the eye enucleation and neutering. The next day, he joined his siblings in their new foster home with Jill, full of comfort and love! Taylor has come a long way from being so scared initially, he now loves everyone, pets and people alike, in Jill’s foster home. Due to the stitches in his eyelid, he lives in his own condo, and plays for hours with his ball and mice. He also enjoys daily supervised play with his 2 siblings, and chasing the laser light beam around and leaping to catch the feathers of the fishing pole with Jill. Taylor is so very special because having only one eye doesn't hinder him one little bit! And, he is even more special because of just how far he has come, from being an outside, scared, homeless little boy, to being an incredibly active, indoor, happy family member. Taylor now loves being held so much that he enjoys being cradled like a baby in Jill's arms! When we trapped Taylor, his left pupil was severely infected and shrivelled, so it had to be enucleated (surgical removal of tissue debris, and the eye socket stitched closed). At that time, he was also neutered, vaccinated, and received an FIV/Leukemia bloodtest (which was Neg/Neg). The surgeries were performed at Four Paws Animal Hospital. Our pending adopter, Marci (our volunteer), has a heart way bigger than her wallet, as she is adopting all 3 kittens, once Taylor has fully healed. His vet fees are $563.50, she can pay $63.50, leaving $500. (She is also paying for Taylor's 2 siblings' medical fees, at $409)
