Amy was found when she was about 4 weeks old. She was already a very outgoing and sweet calico kitten, and would have made anyone a perfect holiday gift but for one thing. Amy was blind in both eyes.

But in true Amy fashion, this has not slowed her down in the least! She is able to climb everything, though often needs to call for help to get down. She plays with the other cats at her foster home and is very energetic. In fact, as far as she is concerned, there is absolutely nothing wrong with her!

Amy was a wonderful patient as well, but after evaluating her progress with her eyes for about a week, I was concerned that there was no improvement, and referred Amy to a veterinary ophthalmologist, Dr. Andrew, at Georgia Veterinary Specialists.

Please help us cover the costs of Amy's special care.

Dr. Andrew has been working with Amy for the past two months, and has done two surgeries to try and correct her problem, and still to little avail. While there are still a few options to consider, her chances for a sighted recovery are becoming slim.

I think that this will concern us more than it will ever concern Amy. While it would be safer for her to be able to see, with the proper environment, she should be able to live a normal and very happy life.

Update July 2011 ... Her most recent surgery has allowed Amy to see in her right eye.  He left eye socket is a black hole so it was left as is.  Dr. Andrew at the GVS brought in a specialist from Tampa to do this surgery and 3 weeks out, her eye has not closed and she is seeing.  Please help us cover the cost of Amy's vision restoration!.
