Jack Tripper the Amazing Eyeless Kitty
Meow ^ | 12/2/2010 | Meow

Posted on 12/02/2010 3:03:27 PM PST by Dallas59



My mom and I were actually looking to adopt a new cat when we got Jack. I have a friend who boards her horse at a local riding stable and one of the barn cats gave birth to a kitten. It seemed that spaying didn’t work on the cat, so she gave birth to a single, deformed kitten and was not able to produce milk. Luckily the owners recently had her fixed, so I’m hoping this doesn’t happen again.

Jack (at the time he was known as Stevie Wonder) was born without eyes. He’s very lucky with his timing. He grew up having other kittens to play and socialize with, and was used to people from the moment he was born since there are always kids hanging around the barn. He was a favourite amongst the students at the barn. However, when it came time to find the kittens homes, no one knew where Jack would end up. Although some of the kittens already had homes, the ones they couldn’t find homes for would go to the local vet’s to be put up for adoption. They didn’t want to do that with Jack. There was no doubt any of the “normal” kittens would find homes there, but Jack was special.

HOORAY for Jack the kitten!

Thanks for posting this.

I’m mean to most everyone but not kittens.

It's a good thing that Jack can't see what has become of Janet...

DUI mugshot.

I'm sorry for hijacking the cute kitty post. I love kittens and this was just wrong of me.

Jack the kitteh bump. What a special little kitten. I’ll bet his little nose and little ears work overtime, but he can still get himself around ok. So great that he is obviously loved and also has a pal in Bear. GREAT story!!
