Jen and Ian have a soft spot for animals, especially cats. They’ve been fostering felines for almost a decade, often helping senior cats find their forever homes at the nearby shelter. Even with three cats already in their care (all former fosters), they couldn’t resist taking in a tiny blind cat who stole their hearts.
During their visit to the nearby animal shelter, the couple came across a small kitten that was visually impaired and kept in a confined area. As per the shelter authorities, the kitten had to undergo surgery to remove its eyes due to a genetic condition.
According to Jen, she came across a tiny cat with no eyes that had marks on its face due to removal of its eyes. The cat was sitting alone in its enclosure, struggling to eat from its bowl while wearing a protective cone.
Veterinarians shared that the little boy had a genetic condition since birth, which required them to carry out a necessary medical procedure. They had to take out his eyes and close his eye sockets to prevent infections and maintain his overall health and happiness, as his eyes weren’t working properly and were frequently getting infected. Later, the couple decided to foster the cat and gave him the name Bop. The feline quickly adapted to his new surroundings and didn’t perceive himself as being different from other cats.
Jen couldn’t bear the thought of leaving the kitten behind, so she made the decision to bring him home with her. Despite being blind, he was just like any other playful kitten. However, Jen’s other cats were scared of him and didn’t know how to interact with him. Remembering that Bop had a brother named Boop at the shelter, Jen and Ian went back to adopt Boop as a companion for Bop and to help ease the tension between the cats.
Boop had excellent social skills and enjoyed the company of his feline companions, particularly his sibling whom he cherished dearly. The group of cats had a ball playing together! After six months, the couple considered finding homes for their furry friends, but they had become so attached to the brothers that they simply couldn’t bear to part with them. Jen and Ian were smitten with Bop and Boop, and ultimately decided to adopt them!
me to call their own! After searching for what seemed like forever, the dynamic duo has landed in a new and cozy abode that they absolutely adore. It’s a beautiful feeling to see them settling in and enjoying their new surroundings.
