I took in the kitten that had previously been diagnosed with “FIP” to let another vet look at that eye. It is determined that Pippi is permanently blind in one eye. The vet says that what is happening is quite rare; the lens isn’t in the iris, it is in the back of the eye. There is no inflammation and no noticeable drainnage going on- so she is summarizing that the fluid is draining into the body- which rarely can cause a sort of cancer to form. Because there is no infection, inflammation or other issues, we have decided to just leave the eye alone and we will keep Pippi till the end of her days and not put her up for adoption. My fear is putting her into a new home will cause stress and stress can do nasty things to cats in regards to their health. She has her routine here, she is happy here and we love her. Unlike the local population around here, I love the tortie kitties. Some people think they are ugly and I think they are beautiful.
How can anyone think any cat is ugly? For me, the ones everyone else thinks are physically unattractive are the ones I want to take care of more. They have less chance of finding friends – just like humans whom people call ugly. Good for you deciding to keep her; let’s hope her life is a long one – with you, it will be a happy one, we don’t need to worry about that.
Bless her little heart! Glad you will give her her forever home! She won’t stress and can be comfortable knowing she is loved.
Torties are beautiful! Ive got one and shes awesome 🙂
