This is Galaxy - she was adopted out of a local Los Angeles shelter back in July of this year as a "free cat" within two weeks of being "adopted" she went from being a totally normal sighted, healthy, happy kitten to a kitten suffering in pain with two completely ruptured eyes.

The person who "adopted" her saw that she was getting an eye infection and proceeded to clean her eyes with tap water and a kitchen dish towel. When the eye infection got worse they finally took her to an eye specialist, but by then the damage was done and she was blind.

When we finally convinced him to surrender her to us (after three days of knowing she was suffering and according to him she "wasn't in pain" how you can look at her and for one second think she's not in pain is beyond us) he FINALLY brought her to our veterinarians and when she was dropped off she had gauze adhered to her one eye. Our veterinarians were horrified and spent quite a while slowly and carefully removing the gauze. Once the gauze was removed, she had pain meds on board and was rehydrated she ate like she hadn't eaten in days (we also found out from a trusted source that he was only feeding her once a day).

She is safe now and in a great foster home. We have had the eyes removed (we didn't feel we could wait to do a fund raiser at the time of rescuing her) and she has been spayed.

Galaxy will be joining our Lifetime Care Program as we feel she has been through enough in her short life and she now has a safe and forever home with us.

We would appreciate any tax-deductible donation to cover her veterinarian bill and follow-up visits. If you would like a copy of her bill please let us know. We are happy to send you one.

Thank you from Galaxy and all of us at Milo's Sanctuary.
