Visually Impaired Kittens Find Friendship and Purrfect Home


And they lived happily ever after...


During their stay at the Sevier County Humane Society, two Tennessee-based visually impaired kittens named Radar and Hawkeye developed a close friendship. Both kittens had serious eye injuries when they arrived at the shelter at just ten weeks old. Sadly, Hawkeye lost partial eyesight in one eye, while Radar lost both eyes.


Radar and Hawkeyes' Facebook pictures were seen by a Georgia woman who just happened to have experience caring for blind cats. She was so moved by the photos that she immediately called the shelter to set up an adoption appointment. In fact, she was so determined to adopt the pair that she refused to allow the incoming severe weather to stop her from reaching the shelter.


The adorable kittens, now called Winks and Binks, are doing well in their new home and have rapidly adjusted to their environment. Spending time at the scratching post, where they play with the attached toys, is the duo's favorite pastime.
