In May 2019, Jade and I adopted a 3 year old Himalayan cat from an Ottawa cat rescue and named him Nimbus.We are currently asking for help to get him the surgery he needs for a condition called Entropion. This means that his lower eyelids grow inward, causing the eyelashes to continuously rub against the cornea creating irritation.If it goes untreated for too long it can cause damage to the cornea, eye infections and ultimately vision loss.When we first adopted him, we were told that he most likely had an eye infection due to stress or a common kitty cold.Upon taking him to the vet, they informed us that he would need surgery that would cost around $1200.We could not afford it, so they prescribed him some antibiotic eye drops that needed to be applied 4 times a day.These helped him a lot for a while, but with continued use they seemed to become less effective.We were told that without surgery, the infections will continue to return throughout his life.We had hoped to wait until we could save up enough for his surgery, in the meantime cleaning his eyes regularly and applying hydrating eye drops. However his eyes seem to be getting redder and more infected with each day that goes by. Some mornings his eyes are so full of mucus that they are completely gummed shut.While Nimbus is still a happy, playful, cuddly floof for the most part, it breaks our hearts to see his irritated eyes and to think that we cannot provide the quality of life that he needs.We felt uncomfortable at first asking for help, but this is for Nimbus and we wouldn't ask if it wasn't necessary.Any and all donations are greatly appreciated.Thank you so much.Here are what Nimbus' eyes should always look like (photo taken at the time we first started applying the antibiotic drops 4 times a day).Here are what Nimbus' eyes look like most mornings.
