If you attended any Kitten Kapers last summer or fall (2000), you may remember seeing me. I was the lovely gray tiger with the green EYE.Many people told my (then foster) mom how beautiful I was until they saw the left side of my face. You see, while I was living outdoors I injured my left eye. It became infected, and my third eyelid became glued to the eyeball. It hurt and I couldn't see anymore on that side.
That's when I was brought to Forgotten Felines. Since then I've been to the vet more times than I can count. My eye couldn't be repaired and was eventually removed. My ears were plugged with wax and dirt. My teeth were broken and covered with plaque. My tongue had been split and never healed right. A growth in my mouth had to be removed. I needed to be spayed. And to top it all off, my heart does not work right either!
You think outdoor cats spend the day frolicking in the woods, chasing butterflies or mice for exercise,or dozing in the sun. Well, those woods are full of fleas, ear mites,ticks, and worms, not to mention animals that want you for dinner. You hunt to survive, not for fun. If you don't catch anything, you go hungry. You spend time hiding for you life or fighting for it. And it's not always warm and sunny out there either. You try finding food and awarm place to sleep in January or February. I was lucky to avoid rabies,FIP, FIV, and leukemia. I couldn't avoid having litter after litter of kittens. Some died before their eyes opened, cars or predators killed others. All I wanted was to be safe and warm, and to see my babies LIVE!
FFF changed my life forever. Since no one else wanted a one-eyed cat, my foster parents adopted me andcontinued to see that I get the veterinary care I need. My last kittens,born after I was rescued by FFF, were adopted into loving homes. I am safe,and loved, and sheltered, and fed. I NEVER want to go outside again andI pray that my first family, which put me outdoors to fend for myself,never do such a horrible thing to another helpless animal again.
