    Helen

    We found Helen at the end of August, 2009. She was a feral cat in our town and had managed to survive two months on her own even though she is completely blind. For some reason, this kitten lacks any eyeballs at all, but that hasn’t stopped her from living life to the fullest! She is now approaching six months old.

    What an amazing kitty. It completely breaks my heart to think about what kind of life she had on the streets completely blind, but then it makes it overflow with joy to know she has a loving and happy home now. Thank you for taking in such a special kitty.

    Helen is a very dignified kitten, who may lack eyesight but clearly did not lack some other sort of vision that brought her to you! Here’s a book (suggested by a fan at reddit.com) that you all might enjoy about living with a blind cat: http://www.usatoday.com/life/books/news/2009-09-02-fall-books-homer_N.htm

    Helen has developed her other senses to make up for eyesight and has a big heart like her Mama who took her in. Bless you many times over for taking in this tough tortoiseshell kitty. Many happy purr-fect years together!

    Beautiful and amazing cat. So glad she survived to find you to give her a special, loving home. As suggested by another, please read “Homer’s Odyssey” about another blind cat. It was a quick, thoroughly enjoyable read that made me laugh and cry (has a good ending).

    Helen is a dear, sweet purrfect kitten. You can have many, many years of happiness together.

    My coworker has a rescued cat who is now 16 and has been blind since found as a wee kitten in a garbage bin. He’s had many issues, including brain seizures and IBS, but his mom’s love and care has given him a long and happy life. She loves him more than anything and he doesn’t know he’s handicapped. They are quite the pair.

    Helen’s other senses have taken over for her eyes…notice how she knows how to sit for the camera! I’m sure she also has an extra large capacity for love! Blessings to both of you!

    I can only echo what everyone else has said. She’s a stunner and knows it. You will know such great love from a “special” cat, you are very blessed to have her as she is you. Prayers that both of you have long healthy lives.

    OMG, Helen is gorgeous; torties my absolute favorites. May you be rewarded 1000 fold for rescuing this special angel.
    May I recommend Homer’s Odyssey , the true story of a blind kitty. Hope to read a book about beautiful Helen in the future.
    Wise choice for TDK KM :)
