A kitten was brought back to life, and now she can see. Her once-clouded world is filled with light.

Upon learning about a kitten in critical condition, volunteers at Alley Cat Rescue sprang into action to save her. “At just 3-4 weeks old, she was a tiny bag of bones with her eyes sealed shut and barely holding her temperature,” the rescue shared.
Moira, the kitten, was only half her expected size, with an upper respiratory infection and severe anemia due to fleas. “She was in bad shape, but we could see her fighting spirit. We rushed her in for urgent care. After her treatments, she was ravenous and tried to chew on a bottle of formula.”
As they gently cleaned her face, they discovered her little eyes hidden underneath all the goop.

With dedicated care from the veterinary team and her foster family, she began to improve and found her purr again.
Initially, they worried she might be permanently blind due to the damage in her eyes, but they never stopped trying to restore her sight.

With treatments, nourishing food, and plenty of TLC, Moira continued to make progress. She ate heartily, working hard to gain weight and build strength.
“Her eyes look brighter, and she’s more alert than ever, even responding with sweet little squeaks when she hears our voices. We’re dedicated to helping her grow stronger each day.”

Moira didn’t mind having her eyes cleaned and treated daily, as if she understood they were helping her. “She’s showing more energy and even a little feistiness. She has doubled her weight in just over a week.”
“She purrs the moment you touch her, and her adorable personality shines through.”

With a spring in her step, she embraced her kitten spirit, exploring every corner of her playpen and lighting up each time her canine friend, Snoopy, came to visit.
“Moira was totally fascinated as she sniffed the puppy, and Snoopy gently licked her face. Watching them explore each other’s worlds—Moira’s curiosity and Snoopy’s playful spirit—reminded us of the simple joys in life.”

The cloudiness in her eyes began to clear up after they treated her ulcer. She could make out shadows and navigate her surroundings with growing confidence.
“Despite her challenges, her spirit remains strong, and she remains undeterred. She has taken a liking to crinkly toys and anything that makes noise.”

With more room to romp around, she was introduced to other kittens. She quickly claimed the cozy strawberry house, often curling up inside with her friends.
“It’s heartwarming to see her so happy and engaged. She follows your feet everywhere and is full of energy, always bouncing around. She’s friendly with other cats, happily greeting everyone she meets.”

“She’s now spending her days with the big cats and has truly found her place among them. Watching her wrestle with the older cats is a joy—she holds her own and has quickly become a favorite playmate.”
As Moira’s eyes cleared, she gradually regained her vision, revealing their beautiful amber color.

“Slowly, our efforts began to pay off. Now, Moira can see. She confidently climbs up and down cat trees as a clear sign that her vision has improved, and she’s reclaiming her independence.”
Moira is having the time of her life with her feline friends, spending her days playing and snuggling with them.
