A kitten was brought back to life and now she can see. Her once cloudy world is filled with light.

When they learn of a kitten in critical condition, volunteers at Alley Cat Rescue jump into action to save her. “At just 3-4 weeks old, she was a little bag of bones with her eyes closed and barely keeping her temperature,” the rescuer said.
Moira, the kitten, was only half her expected size, with an upper respiratory infection and severe anemia due to fleas. “She was in bad shape but we could see her fighting spirit. We rushed her into emergency treatment. After her treatments she was ravenous and tried to chew on a bottle of formula.”
As they gently cleaned her face, they discovered her small eyes hidden under all the goo.

With dedicated care from the veterinary team and her foster family, she began to improve and found her purr again.
At first they were worried that she might be permanently blind due to the damage to her eyes, but they never stopped trying to restore her sight.

With treatments, nutritious food and lots of TLC, Moira continued to make progress. She ate heartily and worked hard to gain weight and build strength.
“Her eyes look brighter and she is more alert than ever and even responds with cute little squeaks when she hears our voices. We are dedicated to helping her grow stronger every day.”

Moira didn’t mind having her eyes cleaned and treated daily as if she understood they were helping her. “She’s showing more energy and even a little obesity. She’s doubled her weight in just over a week.”
“She purrs the moment you touch her and her adorable personality shines through.”

With a spring in her step, she embraced her kitten spirit, exploring every corner of her playpen and lighting up whenever her canine friend, Snoopy, came to visit.
“Moira was completely mesmerized as she sniffed the puppy and Snoopy gently licked her face. Watching them explore each other’s worlds – Moira’s curiosity and Snoopy’s playful spirit – reminded us of the simple joys in life.”

The cloudiness in her eyes began to clear after they treated her wounds. She could see shadows and navigate her surroundings with growing confidence.
“Despite her challenges, her spirit remains strong and she remains undeterred. She has liked crinkly toys and anything that makes noise.”

With more space to frolic, she was introduced to other kitties. She quickly claimed the cozy strawberry house, often curled up inside with her friends.
“It’s heartwarming to see her so happy and engaged. She follows your feet everywhere and is full of energy, always jumping around. She’s friendly with other cats and happily greets everyone she meets.”

“She now spends her days with the big cats and has really found her place among them. Watching her struggle with the older cats is a joy – she holds her own and has quickly become a favorite playmate.”
As Moira’s eyes cleared, she gradually regained her sight, revealing their beautiful amber color.

“Slowly our efforts began to pay off. Now Moira can see. She confidently climbs up and down cat trees, a clear sign that her eyesight has improved and she is regaining her independence.”
Moira is having the time of her life with her feline friends, spending her days playing and snuggling with them.
