A man was walking down the street and spotted an adorable little tabby kitten hiding underneath a car.
She was obviously in distress and it appeared that she wasn’t able to see.
Oh no, poor kitty!
“She was covered in burns and both eyes were matted shut,” imgur user Feetyoumeet said. This little kitten needed help and she needed it fast.
The kind man took the kitten to his home where he and his family made a special collar for her, which prevented her from being able to rub her eyes and make them worse.
The family also had to help her eat via syringe since she was suffering from a severe upper respiratory infection.
This little kitten was a fighter though, and she seemed overjoyed and relieved to finally have people around her who cared.
Even the family dog, Sadie, stepped in to offer some emotional support!
Sadie spent a great deal of time at the kitten’s side keeping her company and consoling her.
The family cat, named “Maybe,” also became friends with the little kitten.
After several days and nights of syringe feedings, the kitten was finally able to eat on her own.
“Her right eye is perfectly healthy while we still battle with the perforation in the left eye,” said the rescuer.
Unfortunately, it was determined that the left eye would not recover, and the kitten needed surgery to remove it. Without this procedure, she might have lived the rest of her life in pain and discomfort.
Following the surgery to the kitten’s left eye, Sadie the dog began to spend more time than ever with her, as if the loving pooch realized that not everything turned out OK for her little friend.
Two weeks after the surgery, the family adopted her and named her, “Squint.”
“Very glad that I worked where I worked and was able to help this little gal,” said her rescuer. You don’t need two eyes to see just how far a little love can go!
