A blind homeless cat was rescued from the streets of Royal Palm Beach, Florida, and after recovering from a rough life as a stray, this fortunate feline’s most startling characteristic is garnering him internet fame.
A local from Royal Palm Beach had called Carmen Morales Weinberg, the director of the nonprofit Animal Friends Project, to report seeing the distressed cat out on the streets. The scruffy-looking animal was covered in mange, a parasitic skin disease causing itchy, dry, scaly skin, and was wandering around with his eyes completely shut from infection. He appeared to be totally blind and was suffering trying to survive on his own.
