As they often do, a video of a young cat in dire need in Cairo circulated among people active in sheltering and rescuing cats. This was at the end of 2021. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was a cat that had clearly had something terrible happen to it. Broken jaw and his eyes were a bloody mess. \u2013 He wouldn't make it without help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A friend of Haven took him to the vet for necessary care and cared for him for about a month. The SHE community sponsored him and named him Christian. And so, in early 2022, Christian arrived in Haven.<\/p>\n\n\n

Here we are two years later. Christian has become a grown-up handsome boy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Christian is blind. The eyes are removed and closed. He must be about 2.5 years old now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He is a gentle, calm and friendly cat. He has no tendency to bite or scratch. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Christian gets along well with other cats. He's a good eater.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He is not yet cuddly, he is a bit scared of being touched. The busy environment of Haven is not good for him. He sometimes walks a bit uncertainly and nervously through the spaces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a quiet house he will certainly blossom.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

So he is one of the many blind SHE cats. Know that blind cats are wonderful. They are cats through and through. And they can be expected to act as cats do. Such as (possibly) found on top of a seemingly inaccessible place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For those who delve into the world of blind cats, see .<\/a> FB group Blind cats united<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Christian has been tested for FIV\/FeLV in January 2025 and is FIV positive<\/a>. He is now in the latent phase. Without any symptoms. How long that will last is impossible to say. When in the progressive phase, these cats can often still have a long and good life with treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All cats at Safe Haven Egypt receive vaccinations against common cat diseases. An anti-worm and anti-flea treatment. Have a microchip, are castrated like Christian. They are litter box trained, \u2013 And will travel with a negative Rabies certificate and their vaccination record. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also something that applies to all SHE cats is that they must be indoor cats. - We don't want to have to find out after adoption that adopter's promise not to let the cat roam free twas a lie . - This has even happened with a blind cat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We would like to get our animals adopted. But that must also be done properly and safely.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n

Can you give our Christian a home? Want to sit together on the couch and go to sleep? \u2013 Then take a look at our adoption procedure<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And don't hesitate to contact us<\/a> for questions or an adoption proposal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sharing this message where you can is also something that we greatly appreciate.<\/p>\n\n\n
