Medical history…

I had my right eye removed because of an abnormality or previous trauma to the eye. It wasn’t working properly, and I had very limited vision. The vets also found early signs of glaucoma, and there was a high risk it could develop into something more serious like sarcoma. So, it was best for my health to have it removed. Thankfully, the test results came back all clear, and I’m doing really well now—one eye doesn’t slow me down at all!

While I’ve been at the sanctuary, I developed a sore, swollen chin. It didn’t improve on its own, so the vets gave me a course of steroids, which helped a lot. It could be a common skin condition, possibly linked to an allergy, so I’m starting a hypoallergenic diet just in case food is the cause. My carers also clean my chin gently and feed me from a ceramic bowl to help prevent flare-ups. I may need treatment again in the future, but it’s all manageable.

I also have a bit of mild gingivitis, which is very common in cats. My teeth are in great condition right now and I don’t need any dental work yet—but I might as I get older. A little home dental care can go a long way!

Even though it might sound like I’ve had a lot going on, I’m actually a strong, healthy cat who’s feeling great and ready for my next adventure so do give me a chance!
