“Blind” Stray Cat Surprises Rescuer After Revealing Incredible Beauty Of His Eyes

Megi7 — Wed, 15 Mar 2017 14:01:21 +0000

Meet Cotton the cat who was found blind in the outdoors, got rescued, and then one day, when he opened his eyes, surprised everyone around him. “Little by little he started to gain weight. It was a nice surprise to see that he had one blue eye and one yellow eye. His hair started to grow again,” Carmen Weinberg, founder of Animal Friends Project, told Love Meow about Cotton’s incredible transformation.
The kitty was found wandering the streets in Royal Palm Beach, FL. The man who spotted the cat said that “Cotton came out of nowhere” and started eating from the bowl of food he had for his cat. He said Cotton seemed “very hungry, like if he had not eaten in days.”

The guy shared a post on Facebook, asking for someone to help the cat, when Weinberg reached out. “Early the next morning, I drove to pick him up. I took him immediately to my vet… and they confirmed that he was suffering from mange.”

The mange disease was exactly why the kitty couldn’t open his eyes, but Weinberg was set to do everything to make the feline recover – and now Cotton is one healthy and gorgeous cat! Meanwhile, Weinberg is on a mission to find this sweet cat who ‘likes to be wherever you are’ a loving forever home.

This brave little guy is Gavin. Gavin is 4-years-old and was born completely blind, which means that as a toddler not only did he have to learn to walk like the rest of us, he also had to learn to navigate with no sight. His parents are doing an excellent job at teaching him to be independent though, and making sure he can make it through this world on his own.

Watch as he bravely uses his cane for the very first time to walk outside and to step down a curb.

Gavin and his family also have a Non-Profit Organization which helps educate people about Leber’s Congenital Amaurosis (LCA) and helps fund research on a cure for the extremely rare condition.
