Elphie is 6 weeks, was found on Saturday and has a 50/50 chance of losing her eyes, due to infection and feline herpes. We’ve never ever had a kitten, let alone a blind kitten, so we’re kinda floundering here. What is your blind kitty’s favorite toys? We got some crinkle balls for now! What about climbing? Elphie LOVES to climb the shoe rack, its a battle every day to keep her down. Is a short cat tree, maybe one with stairs to the top level, with padding around the bottom a good idea? In general what tips do you have for an owner of a blind kitten? (Sorry for the quality of a few pics, shes a wiggly girl)

Any tips for the smoothest recovery?

He’s mostly back to himself. Hating the cone. Aggressively accosting us when we’re eating string cheese. Attacking the dog’s tail, and his own… He’s doing well folks.

I posted her here initially on November 9th, she had her left eye removed on November 1st and it randomly started to bleed a bit on the 9th.

(Will link post).

My little Noodle is doing great now, I had to take her to another vet on November 13th and it turns out she had some kind of infection and it was treated with antibiotics, it began to heal normally and they removed the sutures on November 19th I believe. I took the cone off of her then but she picked at the scab so I had to leave it on until around December began I think. It continued to heal and a couple weeks ago the whole area had the fur regrown and I can't see any scarring and the surgical area has been completely sucked into her face if that makes sense. Which I've heard is supposed to happen. I don't see any holes or anything either. I think she will be just fine and she has been doing very good the past few weeks.

Pic included of her that I took quite recently, within the last couple weeks.

Thanks for all the advice and support!

Had his eye removed today. Had a hernia surgery, and neutered…. My poor buddy is hurtin. But he’s a trooper.

I just found this community… so cool.

Well, this guy came into my life when my son found him in the middle of the road while driving home from work. Since it was the 4th of July (Independence Day), he was named Indy.

He was in pretty rough shape, but after a few visits to the vet, and multiple rounds of medication, he began to thrive.

Now, two years later, he is a much loved member of our household, and quite decidedly the pirate of our roost!
