Keller
2007 Keller is a super sweet fellow whose owner decided that his dislike of cat hair every
where was more than his desire for Keller’s companionship. In his defense, we wanted to
make sure Keller was safe, made a large donation to our building fund and is sponsoring
Keller for the rest of his life. Keller is a very sweet fellow who loves to be loved on. He
is a very quiet fellow who does not bother anyone.
7/29/10 Keller went in for his regular check up, dental, etc and while he was there had
his remaining eye removed. He was there had his remaining eye removed. He was having
a lot of problems with drainage and infection and since he could not see out of it,
the vet felt it would make him much more comfortable just to remove it. He is recovering nicely.
Update: He has been diagnosed hyperthyroid. He is on medication to manage it.
2013 He has reached toxic levels on his medication so he had the radiation therapy to
ix his thyroid. It was successful.
2017 Hyper thyroid again :( Having another radiation therapy to fix it.

7/21/2017 RIP Keller
10 years ago Keller came to live with us at Blind Cat Rescue. He has had his ups
and downs with his health. He has been treated with iodine therapy for hyperthyroid
twice, He had developed hypertension and kidney disease. He has become a little
old man.
Today he started urinating blood. He also cried in pain. He has been in and out of
the hospital several times this last month. The vet and I both agreed that yes we
could treat him again, keep in him the hospital, etc.... or let him go. I truly feel he
would say let me go if he had a voice. He did not eat this morning, he is tired, in
pain, let him go... So that is what we did, I let him go.
I sat and held him and pet him as he left this earth. We were blessed with 10 years
with him. He was a sweet old fellow, got along with everyone, he will be missed.
