Helen Keller

Hello everyone! This is a sneak peak at Helen Keller, a special needs kittie that we are caring for at Cat Guardians. Helen came to the shelter when she was just a couple of months old. It was clear that she was blind, so we took her to the vet immediately and there learned the terrible news that she also had FIP. Not long ago, this would have been a death sentence for any cat. But recently a new treatment has become available that gives cats suffering from FIP a chance. Helen Keller was the first cat that we treated under this new protocol and we are happy to say that she has made a full recovery.

Now that she is well, she has had her eyes removed and been spayed. We are happy to report that she is a rambunctious teenager who loves to play. Up until now she has lived as an only cat in foster care. We are now beginning to socialize her with other cats with the goal of getting her ready for adoption to a special family who will help her lead a full and joy filled life.

If you are interested in following her progress, please follow us on Facebook or Instagram for periodic updates. And if you are interested in giving this tenacious young lady the home she deserves, please visit our website at www.catguardians.org and submit an adoption application. That doesn’t commit you to anything, but it does allow us to start a conversation and share some additional information.
