Buffy was born with alot of birth defects. The vet thinks she is a victim of severe inbreeding and she is also a Panleukopenia baby. That means that she was exposed to feline distemper while she was still in womb. Not only was she born blind, she is missing a nostril, is very undersized (she at 6 months old is the size of a 10 week old kitten) she is missing 1/2 of her teeth and has some serious brain deficiencies. She walks in circles. If she is not walking, her head is still ticking like she is going in circles. The only time she is still is when she is asleep. There is no way of knowing what other kind of defects she has inside. The vet says that most paneluk babies do not live to see their first birthday.

She was advertised in our local paper as a free to a good home blind kitten ad. We were absolutely horrified! In this town there are alot of dog fighters etc, there was nothing to keep her from being used for animal bait!

She is safe now, and is developing as a more normal kitten. When we first got her she would just sit in your lap for hours and do absolutely nothing.She had no concept of a litterbox. She has now discovered that she can climb up to the very top of the 8 foot climber. You will often find her happily asleep up high, and now she uses a litter box.

One June 2, 2006 Buffy died peacefully in her sleep. 1 day past her first birthday. We will miss her spinning and her gentle spirt. She was a joy
