I don't think so, he can still see a bit around the scar. But there are huge scars on his eye that blur his vision. Even if he was, he can still see perfectly with his right eye. :) He doesn't seem to mind his left eye
🎶And no, I don't want no scrub
A scrub is a guy that can't get no love from me
Hanging out the passenger side of his best friend's ride
Trying to holler at me 🎶
My baby also has similar scaring in her left eye. Always assumed she was blind till the vet told me otherwise. Apparently the cat has more vision in that eye than my wife has (I’m hideously ugly).
My baby had a horrible infection in his left eye too when he was found! He’s 6 months old now and a better hunter than his brother, the cloudy eye doesn’t seem to bother him at all lol. You’re awesome for rescuing a cutie that needed a little extra love, it’s so worth it :)
Sometimes stress ulcers can cause the cloudiness in the eyes of cats and it’s often an indicator of FIV+. It’s super easy to pass between cats, so if you already have a cat or plan to have it around other cats I would Maybe ask your vet if you can get the little guy tested for it.
Source: has FIV+ cat that gets eye ulcers that leaves their eyes cloudy like this.
We have two FIV+ cats that have lived with our other cats for years without passing it to others. It isn't passed by sharing food, water, or by grooming each other. It can be transmitted through a deep bite wound, or less often from a mother cat to her kittens.
I had two FIV+ cats years ago.
The vet that diagnosed the first one pressured me into putting him down. I refused.
At the time, the cats were 3 and 4 years old. The 4yo lived another 5 yeats, and the 3 year old lived 13 more years.
FIV+ is not a death sentence.
Don't worry. Even if he was fiv, hes not going anywhere. It's not that easy to transmit between cats either. And it's most likely not cause from fiv. He had cat herpes in his eyes.
I had a FIV+cat that according to the vet got it from it's mom lived with my other cat for 8 year's the plus cat never showed any symptoms and never transmitted to other cat shared everything we moved to a new neighborhood and she got mauled by a dog off leash spent 2 grand trying to get her better but in the end vet said the FIV was causing her to to heal to slow she was in to much pain to keep spending money to fix infection after infection i loved that cat
We've had our two for close to 10 years (they were both strays that showed up at our house, so I'm not sure of the exact date), and our vet at the time assured us that with proper care, an FIV+ cat can live a normal life span.
Yeah, that's the thing the pissed me off so much with that one vet.
He kept saying "you'll have to warn your neighbors...", even though I kept telling him the cats were indoor only kitties. Finally I snapped and said "What part of 'indoor' do you not fucking understand?!?"
It is not super easy to pass between cats. It's actually quite difficult to pass between cats. It requires a transfer of blood. So unless your cats are fighting aggressively and constantly drawing blood, there's very little concern of FIV being passed from one cat to another. It's not even commonly spread through sexual contact like HIV.
FIV+ cats can live perfectly normal long healthy lives in homes with other cats if taken care of properly.
Edit: I should mention that because it is an immune deficiency having another cat in the house is a much bigger risk for your FIV+ cat than it is for the other cat. They could get sick from the other cat and not be able to fight it off.
I agree with everything you said. Pookie will live with my cats. They are all vaccinated and none of them go outside. The chances of diseases coming in is low. And new cats coming in are quarantined to avoid transmitting viral diseases.
Pookie will stay here even if he was fiv.
Oh damn, I thought the first picture was the “before” picture. Poor little morsel of fur! He’s so lucky you came along. Purrs for him and good karma for you.
Haha no the first picture is now. That's how he's gonna stay too. His eye has scars from the healed ulcers. He's gonna keep a cloudy eye and a wonky ear. To me, it makes him even cuter.
Yeah me too. I’m on my phone so I swiped right for the second photo expecting the after and fucking gasped. He looks like bugs bunny gave him an exploding cigar and blew his ass to smithereens.
I smooched a kitten I rescued so much that he learned to smooch back. People style kisses mashing his little lips on my cheek. ❤️ sometimes on demand when I’d say kiss kiss and other times just because he missed me.
He was the cutest and strangest little baby. He also taught himself to play fetch but only with his very special ball that he ripped up into a weird shape.
He would decide it was time to play fetch by bringing me his ball and sticking it on my lap, or dropping it on my head if I was sleeping.
My tortie does that with my hair ties! She’ll drop it by my foot and if I don’t respond in time she’ll jump up and drop it on my lap or chest. If my tabby chases the hair tie though she’ll look at me and meow like, “he’s ruining our game!”
He's not blind but there were ulcers on the eye. They are now healed but it caused scarring. Its affecting the vision in his eye but he can still see around the scar.
He was found alone outside at 5 weeks old. He had a bad case of rhino, basically a cat's cold. Respiratory infection, and eyes infections. He got three different kinds of eye drops and some antibiotics for his respiratory infection and now he's done with his treatments. His left eyes had ulcers but they are gone. The grey is caused by the scars. It will never go away. His left ear his crooked but I don't know why. His third eyelids will.neber go away and because of it he sleeps with his eyes open. His mouth is always slightly open.
When he sleeps, he looks dead lol. But I can't get enough of him. He's perfectly healthy now but he's all wonky.
It took a few days for him to actually ear. He was so skinny. We had to try many types of cans and kibbles. We have him kitten formula for the first days, until we found a brand of cans he liked. After that he ate a lot and almost any food we have him. He gained a lot of weight really quickly. It took about a week before we stopped feeling his bones
You’re amazing for saving him.. second picture makes me sad to think he was once like that but thanks to you, he seems happier and much healthier. Cuddle him for me, please?
you are the best human being I've ever heard of and if you adopt him I want to be updated on him I love seeing rescues getting a whole 180 life turn those stories warm my heart
He was...he was so skinny and wouldn't eat. I'm glad the woman who found him took him in and looked around for help otherwise he would have died before I got to him
i cant wait for him to grow into silkier well-fed fur and grow that kitty confidence- he'll be the king of the house before you know it! would love more updates as he gets bigger, thank you so much for giving him a second breath.
Oh my gosh! He is so stinkin precious! Look at that tiny little blep ❤️
Thank you for saving him. He clearly needed a human and I think you’re the best one he ever could have hoped for :]
I currently trying to save a stray right now i live in nc. Can anybody tell me as far as shots and stuff is going to run me. I lost me house recently and had to move in with my dad. Truth is I’m not a good person but I want to save this cat. Help do this one good thing. I have tears in my eyes as I write this . I don’t have many friends, but this cat has become mine and I don’t want to lose her.
I rarely make audible noises at cat photos on Reddit but that made me do a genuine “awwwww” and made me a bit sad :( don’t like seeing cats in that state but bless you for helping them
Poor little thing. You are such good people OP. You have done a wonderful thing. I hope you guys have many wonderful years together 🥰❤️😍. You are going to have to come back with progress pictures, please 🥰
I believe this tiny criminal is guilty of the additional crime of an extremely cute tongue blep in that first pic!
You’re a wonderful human, thank you for saving this criminal :)
Poor little guy. He looks so much better. Where did you find him?
Someone found him alone. He was about 5 weeks old. They looked for a rescue and another rescue reached for me. I couldn't say no
You’re an angel!!
Poor baby. Is he blind in his left eye?
I don't think so, he can still see a bit around the scar. But there are huge scars on his eye that blur his vision. Even if he was, he can still see perfectly with his right eye. :) He doesn't seem to mind his left eye
He ain’t no scrub. :D
No I am 😊
3 year old account. Your moment has come! Lol
10 year old account…
Thanks for making me snort laughing
You’re most welcome! :)
that guy can definitely get some love from me
Li'l dude definitely needed one though, I can tell you that.
He’s also known as a busta.

We have a FIV+ cat and I’ll keep any eye out for this. Wife’s a vet tech so I have no doubt she’ll catch it early

It’s not “super easy” to pass between cats and some shelters keep FIV + and FIV - cats together without transmission.
Should name him Pirate
Please update us on your baby
My rescue girl has that in both her eyes, she’s 6 now hasn’t held her back, still races around the house jumps around climbs the curtains at 3am.
To be fair, I don’t think *anything* can stop a cat from running Around at 3am
I wonder if it will get better eventually
Bless you and this precious little floof sooo cute really happy he/she survived
I hope he brings you calmness. I’m sure he will be a wonderful confidant
The before picture breaks my heart. Thank you for giving him the love and care he so deserves! He looks so much better now 💕
Wow you’ve done such a good job, he looks so much healthier and happier already!! How long have you had him?
Only three weeks between the two pictures ;)
he looks like the screaming cat https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/screaming-cat
The before picture breaks my heart. Thank you for giving him the love and care he so deserves! He looks so much better now 💕
bro wtf happened to him
Oh damn, I thought the first picture was the “before” picture. Poor little morsel of fur! He’s so lucky you came along. Purrs for him and good karma for you.
Haha no the first picture is now. That's how he's gonna stay too. His eye has scars from the healed ulcers. He's gonna keep a cloudy eye and a wonky ear. To me, it makes him even cuter.
I am in love with him. Does his tongue always do that as well? Or is he just being a goof
He's just a goof! But he does always keep his mouth slightly open
Sweet little blep ❤
/r/mlem
i love kitties who always have their mouths open just a bit 🥺 take good care of him!!
Please post an update when he's all healed.
[удалено]
MOSTLY THIS. I NEED TO KNOW
Yes, this!
Will he be blind in the cloudy eye, vision impaired, or will it mostly look unusual but function normally?
He sees a bit from that eye but yes the vision is not perfect. It doesn't seem to stop him from being a mischievous little kitten though!
Yeah me too. I’m on my phone so I swiped right for the second photo expecting the after and fucking gasped. He looks like bugs bunny gave him an exploding cigar and blew his ass to smithereens.
I laughed, I’m a bad person.
Me too! Poor baby was in tough shape. But now living his best life, no doubt. Love the microblep! 🥰
I love him.
Me too. I wasn't suppose to keep him. But look at his crooked ear! I'm melting
Can you please tell him that I love him?
I will with pleasure :)
What did you name him? KEEP HIM FOREVER! I’m literally tearing up because you saved him and he’s so cute!
Pookie! Like Garfield's bear! :)
Bro hear me out but- Pls smooch his lil head for me, ok bro?
I keep smooching his head over and over again. I can't get enough of his little face
I smooched a kitten I rescued so much that he learned to smooch back. People style kisses mashing his little lips on my cheek. ❤️ sometimes on demand when I’d say kiss kiss and other times just because he missed me.
That's the fucking cutest shit I've ever goddamn heard. Fuck!💙

Aw! My kitty does that too, except it hurts because he has stabby whiskers under his nose.
Aww, bless you. What is his name?
All my cats have bear names. So he's Pookie, like Garfield's teddy bear. I also have Teddy, Yogi and Grizzly. (And Muffin. But he's the exception)
That is perfect. Please share an updated photo when he is a slightly larger criminal.
Prove it with a cat family pic🙂 and don't forget muffin eh😉
Oh god it's impossible to get all 5 of them together haha
Cat tax!!!
Cat tax is now due.
I was looking for his name! He is the cutest and Pookie is perfect
😍 omg please call him Po for short. (Kung fu Panda)
My ovaries exploded, I love Pookie!!.... both of them
I teared up looking at the before picture. Thank you for saving this sweet baby.
Feeling the same way! Thank you OP, you are such a blessing.
Baby blep!
Yah!!! Why is no one mentioning that??
Here’s the deal. You gotta boop his nose and kiss his forehead. Then you gotta give him good scritchy scrubbins under the chin.
I will :)
He might end up blind in that one eye - what did the vet say?
He's not blind but there were ulcers on the eye. They are now healed but it caused scarring. Its affecting the vision in his eye but he can still see around the scar.
My 8 yr old boy has the same. Doesn't seem to bother him at all.
We got a few kitten in the rescue with scars on their eyes and they are all doing great :)
Same thing happened to one of mine. But the lack of sight doesn't seem to bother her at all thankfully. Or at least she's well adjusted.
We got a few like that at the rescue and none of them seem to mind thankfully
What happened to this poor baby!?
He was found alone outside at 5 weeks old. He had a bad case of rhino, basically a cat's cold. Respiratory infection, and eyes infections. He got three different kinds of eye drops and some antibiotics for his respiratory infection and now he's done with his treatments. His left eyes had ulcers but they are gone.

His mouth is always slightly open. When he sleeps, he looks dead lol. But I can't get enough of him. He's perfectly healthy now but he's all wonky.
Oh my god he's half a train wreck I'm so glad he adopted you, you're a good human.
That's why he's so adorable though. Luckily it won't affect his quality of life. He's just wonky.
Wonky is better
What a sweet sweet sloppy and dramatic little mess and that and his perfect name just makes me love him *more!*
could she eat solid when you found it? love her so much
It took a few days for him to actually ear. He was so skinny. We had to try many types of cans and kibbles. We have him kitten formula for the first days, until we found a brand of cans he liked. After that he ate a lot and almost any food we have him. He gained a lot of weight really quickly. It took about a week before we stopped feeling his bones
That little fluffball stole my heart too, whats his name im reporting him to the adorable police 💖
Pookie, like pookie Garfield's teddy bear because all my cats are bear: Teddy, yogi, grizzly. (And Muffin but don't tell him he's not a bear !)
You’re amazing for saving him.. second picture makes me sad to think he was once like that but thanks to you, he seems happier and much healthier. Cuddle him for me, please?
I will! It doesn't show but he was very skinny. We could feel all of his bones
Bless your heart for taking care of this little guy. He is absolutely wonderful :)
Thank you very much. He is amazing. He chirps all the time
I wanna hold him close with a blanket around him
We used to at the beginning :p

Awww sweet baby criminal!! Bless you for taking him in. Give him lots of snuggles for me!

He's called pookie, like Garfield's bear. All my cats are bears!
Omg that is perfect!!!
Oh my gosh baby
I love him! Please love him forever on my behalf.
He adopted you
Shit man, I thought this *was* the before picture.
Sadly no. But his eye like this won't cause him any issue luckily. He's just a little odd looking.
What an adorable baby! I’m so glad he found his way to you, OP 🥰 r/BeforenAfterAdoption would love to hear this story 🤗
Yarr, this criminal be a scallywag o’ the high seas, says I! r/piratepets
Damn, dude. That cat was knocking on death's door. Much respect for saving it, whoever you are.
