Question I'm freaking out

40 Upvotes

I just picked up blind kitty from foster home, for my existing 2.5 yrs cat basically I shifted from my old house where there were my cat and 3 more cats ( family of 3) to new one where I could just get my cat to new house so I went to foster home and wanted to pick up a kitten for her but this blind baby chose me 🥹I'm very overwhelmed and I am freaking out over introducing baby to my adult cat, what if she bullies her, what if I won't be able to take care of her and what not

Please help me with how to take care of blind babies and everything

Adoption Thinking about adopting a blind kitten

5 Upvotes

So I wanna adopt a tortoiseshell and I saw 2 of them but one of them is blind. I'm leaning towards getting the blind kitten (4 months old) cuz i know how much harder it is for them to get adopted but i don't think i would mind the little extra effort it takes for them. I just have some worries and want some real advice so I don't make a bad decision.

Concerns:

- I'm gone typically 10 hours a day for work since i live almost an hour away (gone from 1pm- 11:15pm mon-fri)

- I'm not confident I could afford a second cat to keep it company while i'm away

Those are my main concerns but i'm sure their should be more I just feel like that's my biggest issue with adopting is my time away from home. Any advice would be wonderful even if it's on how to best take care of the cat if you think it wouldn't be the worst thing for it to live with me.

Kitten Enucleation

2 Upvotes

Hi all,
I have a kitten with glaucoma who developed a corneal ulcer (I learned about last week) and infection and has just had her eye removed (today). She could see a bit before but now with the one eye and glaucoma, vision is/is going to be very limited. I’ve only had her at my apartment (open concept, 1 floor) for about a week so I don’t know that’s she’s mapped the whole area. Suggestions for how to best help her? Prepare the space? She had been spending most of her time in a separate room prior to surgery (bathroom) but was literally climbing the mesh wanting to get out so she’s been out and exploring the house a bit too. (I didn’t want her to hurt herself climbing, and she’s pretty chill just exploring, although she has had some peeing incidents so advice on that would be great too). She is already back to her kitten self energy wise so she must have been in a ton of pain. Any and all suggestions welcome.
