Let me tell you about this incredible story of two blind kittens who share an extraordinary bond, relying on each other in the sweetest way possible.
It all started when these little darlings, Pearl and Miley, arrived at a veterinary clinic in need of some serious rescue and TLC. Both blind, covered in pesky fleas, and battling stomach troubles, they tugged at the heartstrings of the kind folks at Best Friends Felines, a cat rescue based in Brisbane, AU. Without a moment’s hesitation, they took the kittens under their loving care.
Nikki, from Best Friends Felines, shared, “The clinic said the little colorpoint girl has microphthalmia (tiny malformed eyeballs) and the ginger girl has anophthalmia (no eyeballs).” Despite their challenges, these sisters had an incredible ability to navigate their new surroundings and warmed the hearts of volunteers with their sweet temperament and constant purring.
Their foster mom, Kerry, was amazed at how quickly they mapped out their space. Initially set up in an enclosure, these little adventurers soon figured out their way around and had the whole kitten room as their playground. Pearl, the colorpoint cutie, and Miley, the ginger girl with a permanent smiley face, proved that nothing could hold them back.
Blind as they may be, they were on point with their litter box, and finding food and water was a piece of cake for them. These little daredevils played like normal kittens and even explored the room with impressive accuracy.
What truly tugged at Kerry’s heart was the extraordinary bond between Pearl and Miley. These inseparable sisters were almost always together, often touching or holding paws. When they had to be separated at the vet’s office, their concern for each other was evident, and they settled down only when reunited.
Kerry, who has fostered for over 15 years, was blown away by the depth of their connection. “They rely on each other more than sighted kittens ever could, so they will definitely be kept together.”
Now, fully recovered from their health issues, Pearl and Miley are ready to explore the world beyond their cozy room. They’re curious and fascinated by feather wands and cardboard scratchy toys, displaying incredible accuracy in catching the toys.
So, let’s share this heartwarming tale of these fearless and loving blind kittens, Pearl and Miley. Their extraordinary bond is nothing short of magical, and it’s a reminder that love knows no boundaries.
