1/29/25 – It was January 3, 2025 when I was contacted by Julie who is with Kitty Kat Rescue. Jack had showed up at a cat colony which had a caretaker. The poor kitty, at 16 pounds and intact, was being picked on by the other cats in the colony and his food was being eaten by the others.

The owners of the colony said they thought maybe he had something wrong with his eyes so Julie agreed to take him in and once Julie had him she thought he was partially blind and also thought he had the “eyelid condition where his eyelashes are scratching the corneas”. She estimated Jack to be four or five years old and said he is a little teddy bear. Julie did take him to All About Animals where he tested negative for fiv/felv and he received his rabies vaccine. But she did not have the funds to take care of his eye issues.

Jack was seen by one of the veterinary doctors at Orion Animal Hospital where it was determined that Jack does have entropion of his lower lid. Again, this is a condition where the eyelashes have grown into the eye and if left untreated, will result in blindness. Jack is scheduled for surgery which will include neutering and a distemper vaccine. He will be looking for his furever home but is safe and happy in the mean time. – diana
