At the end of March 2023, a message from a heavily infected cat in a local Facebook group of local cats in dire need reached Koky, the manager of Safe Haven Egypt.
Although Haven was and is still above capacity, that nameless cat was given a place. We couldn't save her eyes, but we could save the cat, water certainly doesn't always work.
Her sponsor gave her the name Ariadne and she is doing very well. The eyes are removed and closed. She has been sterilized and has received all her vaccinations. Goes in the litter box. She is good with other animals such as cats and cat-friendly dogs.
Ariadne is a calm cat who will do well with children. Ariadne is estimated to be two years old.
A blind cat is technically a disabled cat. But Ariadne doesn't know that. They are just cats through and through. And in many cases they are extra affectionate. It's really nothing to worry about.
All SHE cats must be kept indoors. Or in a very well-enclosed garden or in a cat run. A blind adopted cat has once been found on the street. We really don't want to experience that.
That is why there is a personal interview for prospective adopters via a video call to investigate whether the cat, candidate and expectations match each other.
See our about us page adoption procedure if you are thinking 'Yes, maybe... could I give Ariadne a place in my home?'
For questions…please ask them. do not hesitate. You certainly won't disturb me.
Or maybe you think... no, not with me... but I know that X is looking for a cat. Please share this with your circle of acquaintances.
