DESCRIPTION: *Blind*  DSH Red Tabby Van / White with Red

LOCATION:  Foster Home

MY STORY:
Blind Melon was found stray in Stuart, Iowa.  Its always sad when a small kitten is found alone on the streets but this kitten was also blind.  He must have been so scared.  Thank goodness someone contacted the vet and got him to safety.  Hes been in our care ever since.

Melon is such a sweet kitten.  He LOVES your attention and affection.  He LOVES toys.  He gets along with others just fine but the other kitties with him now dont seem to understand him.  Its sort of sad that he doesnt seem to have many friends.  He might be more of a people person and need to companionship of a human although he does absolutely fine with other animals.

Melon needs to have easy access to a litter box.  He cannot use a litter box with a top entry;  he simply cant find his way in and out of it.  He would do best in a home without steps or a home where his access to steps is blocked so he doesnt hurt himself.  Otherwise, nothing stops this sweet, handsome boy.  He gets around just fine and absolutely loves his play tunnel and toys that make noises.

MEDICAL:  Melons eyes continue to be weepy and we are consulting with our vet to determine if full removal is necessary.  For now, his foster mom wipes his face daily and applies eye meds.  We hope to have answers soon but are still listing him so anyone interested can get approved and will be ready when we get the green light from the vet.  

He also came in with ringworm, that annoying fungus.  He still has a few spots but we will make sure he is over it and approved for adoption from our vet before we let him go.
