A Newry animal charity seeks a forever home for Lilah. Found ill in December, she now needs a calm, indoor setting.
The kittens were both very ill, says the report. They had severe cat flu, the staff noted. Vets examined the small, sick cats closely.
Both had severe entropion in their upper eyelids. Entropion makes the eyelid turn inward severely. The eyelashes rub against the eye, causing pain. Lilah developed an eye ulcer at just seven weeks. She only weighed 1.1kg at this small age then.
Vets fixed Lilah’s complex condition later. Her eyes are cross-eyed, a condition called strabismus. This look is Lilah’s most striking feature detail. Her eye muscles may strengthen as she grows some.
The strabismus does not affect her vision then. It will not hold her back, the team has observed. Lilah needs a quiet, stable home right now.
New places and people make her nervous now, so. She needs to live indoors always from present. Her strabismus affects her depth perception now. She may not jump safely because of this vision. Can you give Lilah a good home for always?
