Meet Winky.The 4-month-old kitten was born on the streets of Kentucky to a feral momma cat and lived in a cat community.The little feline was struggling to survive due to several health issues.She was discovered one day by a dedicated caregiver who feeds and cares for the stray cats.
Winky was unsure of humans and avoided being trapped for weeks.When she could no longer run due to her health declining, the caregiver picked her up and contacted Lawrence County Humane Society for help.
The shelter rushed the sick kitten to the local veterinary hospital.Winky arrived with a severe upper respiratory infection, dehydrated, and suffering from malnutrition.These issues were addressed first and then they inspected her infected eye.
The eye is beyond saving and the only option is to remove it.
Winky has a bright future ahead of her once she receives eye enucleation surgery.
“There is no doubt that this little kitten would not have survived in the colony without the immediate medical intervention we were able to provide her.However, we continue to monitor her recovery and will ensure she is fully vaccinated, dewormed, spayed, and socialized prior to finalizing her adoption into a loving, forever home,” shared the shelter.
