More about Plum - Andrea foster

Plum is a special girl looking for someone who loves unique kitties! She came through one of our local shelters as a tiny orphaned nugget at about 2 weeks old last May. As her eyes opened and she grew, we could see that her eyes were shaped uniquely, almost slanted instead of round. Eventually we realized that she had a condition called "eyelid agenesis", where she was missing her upper eyelids, which caused her fur to be in contact with her eye at all times. Can you imagine the discomfort? Fortunately one of our rescue vets recognized this condition and performed multiple surgeries to reconstruct an upper eyelid using her lower eyelid. While this left her with a unique appearance, her eyes and eyesight were salvaged and she is able to blink comfortably and live a normal life!  Plum is a character - having spent so much time being treated, or in an e-collar to protect her surgical progress, she is a little clingy and likes to grab your hand and hug it while she licks you. She would do well with a social kitty friend to learn appropriate kitty play since she has been living solo for so long, She is currently in her longtime foster home and learning to interact with other foster kitties now that it is safe to do so. We LOVE seeing our babies adopted in pairs… having a familiar sibling/buddy helps ease their transition to a new home, and gives them a constant companion for life.  For more great reasons to adopt a pair, visit http://www.kittenlady.org/twokittens.
