Blind Gender: Female Approximate age: 6 months (As of 2024) Arrived From: Saint Pauls, NC Arrival Day: 5-03-24 In response to an urgent email reporting a stranded blind kitten, our team at the Blind Cat Rescue sprang into action. The kitten, abandoned on a property just a few miles away, faced imminent danger from a pack of stray dogs known for their predatory instincts. The person who discovered her was understandably alarmed and reached out for help, but animal control is not accepting animals and said even so they would have to euthanize her and other rescues were already overwhelmed with animals. Despite our own facilities being at maximum capacity, our director refused to turn a blind eye to the plight of this defenseless feline, embodying the spirit of rescue and advocacy that defines our organization. “Snatching up a crate, I rushed out, contemplating the challenge of accommodating a cat we didn't officially have space for at our sanctuary. We had a partnership with another rescue known for finding homes for blind cats, and my original plan was to get her vetted, spayed, and placed in a forever home. Blind Cat Rescue has educated about blindness for the last 20 years and thinking this would be a full circle success story. But it swiftly became evident: she had already deemed Blind Cat Rescue as her forever home” Sam Cricket is fearless and loves everybody that walks through BCR’s doors. She will be having surgery in June to have her spayed. She is currently in the lobby while we decide which room she will be in!
