He really is - he breathes so very loud because of the difficulty he has in his mouth and nose and you always know when he is around because of the noise -:)

Two years ago, I rescued a kitten who apparently got attacked by either a dog or tom cat, and his entire upper pallet in his mouth was ripped and gone and had a big hole between his mouth and his nostrils (I am not sure if I am explaining it well) - anyway, he was dieing on the ground and since his infection was so bad, he was only about 12 weeks old, and he only weighted 1.5 lb then, my vet thought if I had found him a day later, it would have been too late - anyway, he is still with me, and I named him "Rocky" - a fighter - cosmetically, he still looks funny (sort of) - people who meet him get scared, because his teeth are always sticking out and he can never close his mouth, and he looks he is mad all the time, and his eyes are all pulled to the middle - some thought he has a kitty version of down syndrome because of the look - anyway, these guys who needs extra care deserves a good life, too - again, thank you so very much for giving him a home - please keep us posted!! -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Kat Sent: Tuesday, June 14, 2005 1:42 PM To: felvtalk@felineleukemia.org Subject: RE: OT: PLEASE can ANYONE help - Blind Kitten Very Sad Hi Hideyo, Teresa says he'll be okay where he is until I get there. (actually, they still aren't sure he's a "he" yet) and I will end up keeping him as long as the rest of the crew warms up to him. I will have my vet check him over and test for FIV/FeLV and then I'll see how well he does with the crew. It won't be the first kitten I've rescued - last year I rescued a tiny little black boy from a co-worker's back yard - named him "Solo" since he was the only kitten (mom was a feral). He was born without his upper eyeLIDS, and when my vet neutered him, she did some cosmetic surgery and formed eyelids out of some extra skin below each eye. Now he thinks he's just the cutest little Cat's Meow...
