When JoAnn Wiltz and Katie McKittrick from Hope For Paws arrived at the scene, they found a blind kitten sitting alone in a local parking lot.
They immediately noticed other cats but decided to come back for them later, and in the meantime, urgently took the sick one to the vet.
Upon closer inspection, the vet realized the kitten’s eyes were irreparably damaged due to feline herpes. He gave her the name Kenshi and scheduled her for surgery to remove both of her eyes.
Rescuers returned to the parking lot and found the cat’s mother and brothers. They also took them to the shelter.
A few days later, all the kittens were allowed to be together. They reunited and had dinner together. The mother and all her kittens are put up for adoption together.
After the surgery, Kenshi was taken to a foster home, receiving the love and care she needed to heal. Thankfully, she adjusted quickly to her new life and lived happily as a blind cat.
Unfortunately, Kenshi can no longer see, but to live a whole life, she needs only love, not sight!
