Anyone who knows me, knows that I’m a big supporter of pet rescue. With the exception of 1, all of the dozens of cats and dogs we’ ve had the pleasure to share our home with have been rescued from either a shelter or an abusive or neglectful situation. A good portion of our yearly charitable contributions go to animal rescue organizations.
The other day, I became aware of an organization that I had never heard of: The Blind Cat Rescue and Santuary, a no-kill, no-cage shelter in St. Pauls, NC. Their main focus is caring for blind cats that probably would otherwise be euthanized because of their handicap.
Although I have had a couple blind dogs in the past, it never occurred to me that there were rescue organizations dedicated mainly to caring for blind pets. In retrospect, it seems silly that I never considered it. After all, it takes specialized knowledge to know how to care for a blind animal (never mind multiple blind animals at once). I can attest to that.
You should take some time and check out their web site. You’ll be amazed at what they’re doing. for these pets that would otherwise be forgotten. And please make a donation if you can. These folks are doing some great work.
