The well-known story with Karlson; blind very young cat in dire need on the street. Someone noticed that and took it upon themselves to ask for help.
Word of this reached Koky, the owner of Haven, and Koky went to pick up the cat. This was at the end of November 2023 when Karlson won his life, safety and a name.
Karlson has been in Haven for over a year now, among all the other rescued ex-street cats, waiting for a home of his own.
He is a friendly boy. A little shy at first when he doesn't know you. It doesn't take long to gain his trust. – He loves cuddles.
He has one eye left. We suspect that he can still see a tiny bit with it. Probably not much more than light and dark, maybe shadows.
Karlson is a ground cat, which is not unusual for a blind cat to be afraid when they lose contact with the ground.
There is nothing wrong with that. A cat is not a toy and the cat has a say in when it is a good time for personal attention. He will come by himself.
We estimate Karlson was born around June 2023. That makes him a year and a half now. He is now ready to be adopted.
As welcome as he is in Haven Karlson must leave to make way for a few of the thousands of 'Karlson's' still on the streets in need.
Like all SHE cats, he has received his basic vaccinations against common cat diseases and rabies. He is chipped and castrated. He received anti-worm treatment and flea control. And blind boys also find the litter box.
By the way, one should not worry about being 'blind'. Only people worry about that. Blind cats manage exceptionally well.
At Safe Haven Egypt we place great emphasis on the safety of our cats. They found it at Haven and it absolutely must remain that way. One would think that 'being blind' would be enough of an argument that Karlson should be an indoor cat or can only go outside in a safe enclosed space. - But experience shows that this cannot be repeated enough. Also when it comes to blind cats.
So; walking around freely in 'the safe, quiet residential area with very little traffic' is not allowed. No discussion possible.
Who's ready to give a sweet blind ground cat a floor of his own? Is that you? – Then read carefully the adoption procedure. And please don't hesitate to contact us.
Karlson not fitting into your life right now? Maybe you know who is? – Sharing is caring! (share buttons at the bottom of this post)
We could use your help to bring a cat as luggage. To be a flight parent for Safe Haven Egypt. (click here). - Contact
