Rescuing sometimes has its challenges. Trinity, the little pregnant calico suddenly went blind on Friday. Her fosters noticed right away and she was taken to the emergency vet and to Merivale Cat Hospital the following morning. They think it may be neuritis of the optic nerves. It will take time before test results are back but we may never know the cause. She is getting antibiotics in case it is the result of toxoplasmosis. Apart from being blind, she is well :( She is still eating, drinking, using the litter box and trying to play with toys that make noise, and still likes being pet. Cats are so stoic. Please say many prayers for her, or send best wishes if you do not believe in prayer. http://www.petfinder.com/petdetail/29166501

This pretty calico was likely born in the spring of 2013. She is one of the sweetest and friendliest cats we have ever met. Little is known of her  first year of life but in April 2014 she was dumped on a country road.  She sat in the middle of the road for days, waiting for someone to return.  One person noticed the cat was pregnant and posted a message on Facebook.  There are many bogs and streams in the area and it is rife with fishers and other wildlife. With no protection stray cats do not survive very long out there.  
Country Cat Sanctuary, near the drop off site,  went to search for her,  because it had been pouring rain for two days and sleet and high winds was being forecast for the next few days. Culverts were full of water and streams were raging torrents.  The last place they searched was a derelict shed. There, in the rafters, was the cat.  When the rescuer shook a bag of food, she came running towards her, meowing.

She spent the night in a bunny cage in the sanctuary, the only space available for her that night, then taken to a Cat Rescue Network  foster home the next day. Clearly happy to be in a home she checked out her surroundings, then stretched out on the carpet and purred contentedly.  Guess when her kittens will be born and how many she will have. No cost to guess and the prize is that you get to say "I won".
