Description

Absolutely! That's an important distinction. We want adopters to know that Cookie's eyes have been examined multiple times by a veterinarian, and that the information about her vision and third eyelids is based on veterinary evaluations, not just our observations. Cookie — A Sweet Little Girl with a Unique Look & a Whole Lot of Love! Cookie is just as sweet as her name suggests! This adorable little girl had a bit of a rough start. When she was found, she was suffering from severe eye infections. Thankfully, she received the veterinary care and treatment she needed, and those infections were successfully treated. However, Cookie was left with something a little unusual about her eyes.Her third eyelids remain partially visible, giving her eyes a somewhat different appearance. Her eyes have been examined by the veterinarian multiple times, and it is believed that the appearance of her third eyelids is either genetic or a lasting result of those severe infections she had when she was younger.But here's the important part...Her vision is not affected!! Cookie can see just fine and she certainly isnt letting her eyes slow her down! About Cookie Sweet and affectionate Loves to play Runs, explores, and enjoys all the usual kitten activities Full of playful kitten energy Does well with other cats Has a BFF named Truffles Has been around a small dog without any issues Does well with childrenCookie is a happy, playful kitten who enjoys everything that comes with being young and full of energy. Toys need chasing, things need exploring and theres always some sort of kitten mischief to happen!Her eyes may look a little different, but Cookie doesn't know there's anything unusual about them. She's far too busy playing, running around, and enjoying life to worry about appearances. A Kitten Buddy Is a Must! Cookie needs another friendly kitten in her forever homeAnd she already has a very special friend!Her BFF is Truffles! Cookie and Truffles have been togeteher since they were very young, and they've grown up sharing all those important kitten adventures. We would absolutely love to see these two girls go home togetherHowever, they are not required to be adopted as a pair. If Cookie goes to a home without Truffles, she will need another friendly kitten to play with, grow up with, and keep her company. The Perfect Home.. Cookie is a sweet, playful girl who should fit nicely into a variety of homes A friendly kitten companion is required Adopting her with Truffles would be wonderful! Does well with other cats Does well with children Has been around a smaller dog without any problems; any dog in her new home should be cat-friendly Plenty of toys, attention, and opportunities to play A Little More About Cookie's EyesCookie's eyes have been examined and evaluated by her veterinarian on multiple occasions throughout her recovery.Her severe eye infections were successfully treated. Although her third eyelids remain somewhat raised, veterinary evaluations have not identified any impairment to her vision.The exact reason for their appearance isn't known. It may be genetic or could be a lasting effect of her previous infections.This isn't something that has simply been overlooked. Her eyes have been monitored closely, and her veterinarian is familiar with their appearance and history. Her future family should simply be aware of her eye history and monitor for any changes that might need veterinary attention.Cookie has already overcome a rough beginning, and now she's ready for something much better—a forever home filled with love, toys, and plenty of kitten adventures. She doesn't need perfectly ordinary-looking eyes to be a perfectly wonderful kitten.Give her a loving family, a kitten buddy (Truffles would be an excellent choice!), and plenty of opportunities to play...Cookie is ready to bring a whole lot of sweetness into someone's life!
