Thank you for donating to the Petfinder Foundation's Emergency Medical Fund! Your gift has helped pets like Stevie.
The 2-year-old cat was abandoned in a Texas motel room and ended up at a crowded county shelter with severe infections in both eyes. Local rescue group Second Chance Pets pulled him and committed to getting him the care he desperately needed.
A veterinary ophthalmologist determined that Stevie was blind because his eyes had not developed normally in utero. One of them had ruptured and the other had no eyelid, so fur stuck to the lens, causing him chronic pain and infection.
With help from a Petfinder Foundation Emergency Medical Grant, Stevie had both eyes removed in January. Despite post-op complications, his brave spirit and sweet personality never wavered.
In April, he was adopted by a kind young lady who'd read his story online and done extensive research on caring for a blind cat.
Stevie's new mom recently shared this update: "We are absolute besties for the resties. Every night, he's slept right in my arms or on my stomach, and during the day he follows me around and cuddles up! He's the most affectionate cat I've ever met and my fiance and I love him to pieces!"
Thank you for helping us help homeless pets!
