Peety came to HART with serious fur matts and obvious problems with his eyes. The mats were removed, but his eyes appeared to be swollen and bulging, so HART's Guardian Angel Program paid for him to see a Veterinary Ophthalmologist in Arroyo Grande, who determined Peety had inflammation and Glaucoma.
Peety had no vision in his left eye, and only a slight perception of light in the right eye. The Glaucoma was advanced and very painful for Peety, so the decision was made to remove both eyes.
The surgery was successful, and Peety went back to his foster home to recover. At first, he was confined to a single bedroom, where he quickly learned how to navigate to his litter box, his food bowl, and the waiting laps of his foster parents! Before long, Peety was successfully exploring the entire home, and interacting with the resident cats—including a fellow blind kitty, who became his breakfast buddy!
Peety was adopted by his foster family, now lives happily and pain-free. It was a life-changing journey for Peety, one that ended the pain he’d endured, thanks to the Guardian Angel Fund.
