These two little kittens were rescued from a hoarding situation and at a very young age, they both lost their sight due to untreated infections. But the blindness didn’t stop these furry friends from finding happiness together.
Even though they are able to navigate their surroundings using their other senses, their strong bond with each other is the real reason they are able to function so well. In fact, they are so close, that they are practically glued to each other at all times.
Despite being inseparable, there have been occasions where these two have become separated. This used to cause a lot of anxiety for the kitties and their caretakers. However, the caregivers have realized that the kittens have the cutest way of finding each other that warms the heart of everyone who witnesses the reunion.
Whenever they are separated, one of them lets out a meow which the other picks up on, instantly. They then call back with another meow to signal their location and quickly work their way towards the sound of each other’s voice.
It’s clear that these two have a deeply unique bond, and their caretakers have done everything in their power to give these two blind kittens a happy life. Their living space is meticulously designed to help them navigate, play and sleep.
One of the most remarkable features of their space is their “stairway to heaven”. This is a series of ramps leading to a piece of furniture that serves as the sleeping area for the kittens. This area has filled with toys that they are free to play with, leading to endless hours of playtime and happiness.
Apart from their special little sleeping furniture, the kittens have many other toys and scratching posts around the room. They are kept entertained and engaged throughout the day, and more often than not, are seen playing together.
Their caretakers have also installed audio sensors in their room to alert the kittens when they are about to run into something or if someone new enters the room, just like they do when one of them meows.
The kittens’ caretaker, who has chosen to remain anonymous, has said that looking after these little furballs has been a great learning experience for her. She cares for the kittens as if they are her own children and has enjoyed watching them grow and develop their unique way of communicating with each other.
The caretaker believes that the kittens’ bond is what has kept them alive and has made them thrive despite their blindness. They have become each other’s eyes, ears and support system.
The kittens’ story is a reminder of how two animals with disabilities can come together to form an incredibly strong and loving bond, and how, with proper care and understanding, even the unfortunate can lead happy and fulfilling lives.
Their story is also a reminder of how important it is to adopt, instead of shop. There are countless animals who have disabilities or are in need of an adoption in your local animal shelter right now. All it takes is a little empathy and a warm heart, and you too can make a huge difference in an animal’s life.
In conclusion, the story of these two blind kittens reaffirms that love and care can overcome all obstacles. They have learned how to rely on each other in a way most of us could never imagine, creating a bond that is stronger than their blindness.
Their caretaker says she’s grateful every day for the privilege of being able to be there for them, to cater to their every need and watch them grow. The kittens have brought so much joy and warmth into their lives.
As the kittens snuggle up to each other, one can’t help but feel that they know they have a good life now, out of harm’s way and forever loved.
