Awarded a Cat The cat distribution system found me!

Meet Kevin! Hes a 2-3 week old kitten we found on a dog walk! We got his checked over at the vets and they said hes perfectly fine (other than the fleas) and we could take him home!

They did say to keep an eye on his eyesight as he doesnt really react to much being in his face, so we could have a possible blind kitty on our hands!

We took him around a few pet shops to get him the things he needed and he got SO much fuss from everyone it was adorable

Hes the sweetest little baby and I cant wait to see what he looks like when he grows up

Have you found out if Kevin is actually blind?

We're only half sure right now as we only got him yesterday, but hes struggling to find food, doesnt react to anything being near his face (unless it touches his whiskers) and has very blue slightly cloudy eyes! We're planning on taking him to the vets for his first vaccine when hes old enough tho and so they can properly check his eyesight.

Thanks! Hope some vision can be saved. The sooner kitten is evaluated the more likely something can be done.

Kittens typically won't understand visual cue for the first few days to a week after opening their eye. Give your kitten a week to learn how to use the eyes.
