I received a phone call this past week from Castaway Critters, asking if I could take some photos of two very special young kitties. These siblings were born without eye lids and have endured great pain over the past few months of their young lives. Castaway Critters took these two kittens in and are providing them with the reconstructive surgery they need. Unfortunately, this surgery is quite costly so they are seeking donations from the public.
These two kittens are beyond amazing. Despite their pain and discomfort they are calm, affectionate, friendly, confident and they love children and even dogs. Here are some pictures of these two incredibly adorable little fur babies, along with information on how to donate to their cause. You can also visit their website for information on other ways to help! http://www.castawaycritters.org/
LADYBUG – the little girl with the BIG purr!
BEAR – as sweet and curious as can be!
And Catie… my trusty assistant!
Lady Bug and Bear were born without eyelids…
We often don’t appreciate the simple things in life…our eyelids keep our eyes clean and protected. Without them, we would live in pain, with dry, irritated eyes and we would eventually go blind!
Lady Bug and Bear are experiencing life without eyelids. They were abandoned locally and were lucky enough to come into the care of Castaway Critters. But, these little kittens were born without a means to keep their eyes clean…that annoying blinking is actually extremely necessary for eye health!
You can make a difference in the fate of these little guys!
Even a small donation will help! The surgery to reconstruct eyelids for these guys must be done by a specialist in Canine and Feline Opthalmology in Norristown.
Lady Bug and Bear will be traveling there for their first consultation on Sunday and just the first office visit costs about $240. We are looking at several $1000s to complete the process of reconstruction, even though the vet provides a modest discount for animals in rescue!
Lady Bug and Bear are sweet kittens that otherwise love life at their foster home. They have no other health issues and they deserve a chance to be happy and healthy. Castaway Critters always tries to go the extra mile for these special needs animals, but we can only do so with your help!
