[resolved!] SPONSOR DENTAL BILLS: Stevie the blind cat with rotting teeth
Blind stray cat needs a home. The cat eyes look normal not cloudy, no discharge, you would not know it is blind if not told about it. I learned from the cat feeder "Cat Uncle" he been feeding the cat for more than a year since cat abandoned. The cat was initially half-blind said Cat Uncle. Gradually the cat became completely blind. I am surprised how the cat survived in the back alley for long time despite its total blindness. It cannot run from predator for sure, as when I as a stranger approached it, it seems lost direction don't know where am I at. My worried is other stray cats or wild dogs attacking this blind cat, or worse ... human (the biggest predator of them all) ... animal abuser or mischievous children harming it. I hope someone can rescue this cat for its safety.
Cattery is not a solution as this cat will live with more than a dozen cats confined in the cattery. Cattery workers busy no time, would not give the blind cat individual care whether it eating well or not, stressed or not, also if it get beat up by other cats - it cannot fight or run away as it is blind and cattery workers not there all the time to look after this cat. Blind cat need special personal individual care that is why I hope someone can bring it home for adoption.
Due to its blindness, I noticed it stayed within its comfort zone (territory) and not wandering around. If living in home it probably will stay put in one room and don't roam further.
Please help find the stray blind cat a home. Thank you.
Warm regards,
Aminah Bee.

Blind stray cat urgently in need of a home. It is a neutered, one tip-eared white and ginger coloured male cat age about 2 years old. The cat eyes look normal not cloudy, no discharge, you would not know it is blind if not told about it. This stray cat lives in another part of my neighbourhood under care of another stray cat feeder. Cat feeder said this blind cat was initially half-blind when abandoned. Gradually the cat became completely blind.
Against all odds, despite it's total blindness the cat managed to survive living dangerously in the back alley. It cannot run from predator for sure. The lady who emailed me, as a stranger approached it, it seems lost direction don't know where she is . My worry is other stray cats or wild dogs attacking this blind cat, or worse ... human (the biggest predator of them all) ... animal abuser or mischievous children harming it. The feeder already caught someone last night poking this blind cat with a stick .
Cattery is not a solution for this blind cat as it will live with more than a dozen cats confined in the cattery. Cattery workers busy no time, would not give the blind cat individual care whether it eating well or not, whether it can find its food and water or not, stressed or not, also if it get beat up by other cats - it cannot fight or run away as it is blind and cattery workers not there all the time to look after this cat. Blind cat need special personal individual care that is why I hope someone can bring it home for adoption.
This blind cat is gentle, very tame and friendly which makes it very vulnerable to abuser. It need home and not living dangerously in the streets fending for itself in complete blindness.
Due to its blindness, it stayed within its comfort zone (territory) and not wandering around. If living in home it probably will stay put in one room and don't roam further.

A previous appeal was put up for this blind abused cat (see previous appeal here: http://catwelfare.org/node/2740), and that was successfully resolved, thanks to the kind support of donors and animal lovers. While Stevie, as he’s now called, is now recovering, he has had to visit the clinic again on 10 July and was hospitalised for 2 days to extract 3 of his remaining teeth. They had decayed so much that they were a continuing source of infection. He’s down to just 2 canine teeth.
The bill came to SGD269.10 after a generous discount from the clinic.
How You Can Help:
Your help is needed to cope with this new expense of SGD269.10.
A scan of the bill is can be found in the link below.

Stevie the blind cat fund appeals are closed as enough donations were collected.
God bless you all for your compassion shown to the unfortunate strays.
May you all be blessed with heavenly reward, good health and happiness.
If only Stevie can talk, he would said a big Meow thank you.
Stevie is happy he is no more homeless and having a human slave around.
Stevie said "For once in my life, I have someone who needs me" ...
