Why do cats become blind?
Lots or reasons. But the number One reason
we have found is by an untreated upper respiratory
infection with an eye infection. A box of
antibiotics would have saved the sight of the
majority of the cats in our care.
By far, viruses are the most common cause of upper
respiratory infections in cats. Feline calicivirus and
feline herpes virus account for 80-90% of all
contagious upper respiratory problems. Cats often
develop bacterial infections secondary to these
common viral infections.
Had Charity been treated by a vet she may not have become blind.
General Symptoms of Upper Respiratory Infections:
Symptoms differ depending on the cause &
location of the infection, but some of the
common clinical signs are:
* Sneezing
* Congestion
* Runny nose
* Cough
* Clear to color nasal discharge
* Gaggin, drooling
* Fever
* Loss or decreased appetite
* Nasal and oral ulcers
* Squinting or rubbing eyes.
If your cat is showing any signs of an upper
respiratory infection, Please take them to the vet.
How to prevent your cat from getting an upper
respiratory infection?
* Keep your cat indoors to minimize the risk
of exposure to infected animals.
* Keep your cat up to date on vaccines as recommended
by your vet.
* Regular exams and preventive care can catch
and treat problems early. A cat’s best defense
is a healthy immune system.

Greta is still struggling with pneumonia & asthma.
The video above is her in our oxygen cage getting
a full oxygen & albuterol treatment. She is eating
well on her own. We are using the feeding tube
for all the medications she is being given.
Snicker, Casey, Boots, Holly, Wifi are all
doing well. Midnight is transitioning into the
FELV room. You will see him live on ROKU
and http://ustream.tv/blindcatrescue on Monday.
Greta’s Story
Greta came to us in 2007 from Animal Control in SC.
She was a very sick kitten and blind kitten with an upper
respiratory infection. Antibiotics in time would have
saved her sight. She was very lucky that she was
very sweet and one of the staff members took her
home to foster her to try to find a place for her to go.
She was at the top of the euthanasia list.
Having just arrived sick from the pound.
She is a love bug :)
