Blind And Deaf He Stumbled Toward Her, Seemingly Unaware Of His Surroundings!

They were in a very bad way, practically sealed shut.

Obviously in pain, he had a sweet nature and a lovely coat of white fur, so Sarah gave him the name Olaf from the movie Frozen. She took the poor boy home and arranged an appointment with the vet to get some answers on all of his medical needs.

The vet confirmed Sarah’s concerns, Olaf was indeed blind and deaf. The problem with his eyes was that the eyelashes were growing inwards, caonstant irritation causing damage to his eyes!

There was no doubt that Olaf was in excruciating pain every time he moved his eyes!

As some damage had already been done to his eyes the vet was not sure how much vision would return. As a temporary solution he sewed Olaf’s eyelids in place to stop more harm.

Once the surgery was complete, it was readily apparent the white cat was much more comfortable than he was before.

Olaf still needed to be taken to a specialist to have eye surgery. Sewing his eyelids was only a temporary solution. However, the surgery was not going to be cheap.

In the world of cat rescue, cats like Olaf are usually euthanized because rescuers don’t have the funding for expensive surgeries. Finding the funding would not be easy. So Sarah reached out to Susan from FuRR, Feline Rescue & Rehome in Central Arkansas. 

When she asked if they could help Olaf, they were more than willing and accepted him with open arms. Through FuRR, Sarah was able to find the right specialist to do Olaf’s eye surgery. After which Olaf was freed from the constant pain of his condition and gained partial vision!

“After his surgery, his eye looked a little rough for the first two weeks,” Sarah said. “But, when he opened his eyes, they were beautiful, big blue eyes.”

Every vet that saw Olaf was amazed at how Olaf had managed to survive in the wild for so long, being both deaf and blind! At the time Olaf he was rescued, he was estimated to be 2 to 3 years old.

With this in mind, it’s clear that Olaf is a survivor with a strong will to live. Having gained part of his eyesight back, things would only get better from here.

As he recovered from his surgery, Sarah coordinated with FuRR to find the best place for him to live. Olaf had not had much exposure to humans before he was rescued.

He was still skittish and needed to be socialized. It would be challenging for him to find a home, so FuRR came up with a great solution.

FuRR determined it would be best for Olaf to be adopted by the organization because of his special needs. 

“He got to move to a sanctuary for cats,” Sarah shared. “Now, he lives in a cat room with a catio and his own cat roommate! He looks phenomenal now.”

At the sanctuary, Olaf has grown plump and spoiled and will continue to be pampered for the rest of his days!

Thanks to Sarah and FuRR, Olaf was rescued from an uncertain fate and given a wonderful home where he will always be safe and loved.
