The Journey
What began with two blind kittens didn’t stop there.
The word got out that I had taken in blind kittens — when few would. Calls began to come. First from friends, asking if I could help with another blind kitten. Then from a vet friend. Then from rescuers. Slowly, the blind family began to grow.
They came from different places, for different reasons. When a blind cat arrived here, it wasn’t temporary. They weren’t passing through. They were home.
By September 2022, there were ten blind cats living alongside the rest of the family.
The last two to arrive were tiny sisters. Both blind. Both carrying the FIP virus.
What followed was devastating.
Within two months, twenty-eight cats were gone — including six of my blind cats.
Living with reality
Loss is part of living closely with animals, but that period reshaped everything. It stripped away any remaining illusions and left only what was real — responsibility, attachment, and the understanding that living fully also means accepting uncertainty.
This journey was never about numbers, success, or outcomes. It was about lives shared, however long or short they turned out to be. The joyful moments mattered. So did the painful ones. Both informed what came next.
Over time, this stopped being about looking after blind cats and became about living with them. Not managing them. Not controlling them. Simply sharing space, routines, and ordinary days.
A living record
The videos document this journey far better than words ever could. Nothing is staged or managed. What you see are real moments — sometimes calm, sometimes chaotic, sometimes difficult — unfolding as they happen.
Together, they form a living record of blind cat life with friends.
