I saw a post from a blind woman who has a blind cat. she said the cat will vocalize when the guardian gets close so there’s no collision! how smart!

My little girl is blind. No one would adopt her from the shelter, but she picked me, and here we are 6 years later. She knows where everything is, and she'll always have a safe and happy life. Thanks Hannah, for all you do.

Sunny and Benedict being adopted together brings tears of joy. ❤

My grandfather was a farmer and had several barn cats. One day, he noticed a new cat and the cat had an injury. He brought the cat inside and he kept bumping into things. He quickly cleaned up the injury and got him back outside. Two other cats came up-Grandpa knew those cats-and they all took off together. Grandpa named him Louis and he was on the farm for years. He was always with another cat

5:09 I had to replay that a few times just to laugh. He'll be someone's darling friend someday as soon as he has figured out the layout of their house.

One of my cats went blind (and deaf) the last year of his life. I was amazed by how quickly he adapted to his disability. He recluse himself to the back bedroom, but would come out to drink water and use the litter box. Eventually, I had to put a litter and water dish in the room with him as he started to get frail, but he was a trooper.

I'm so glad they're staying together!

Still smiling with grace and compassion hiding all those emotions.. You're truly a hero Hannah.. True advocate for kittens.. Coco Forever 🕊️🌈♥️💫✨

I love how Sunny's almost constantntly blepping

My first cat was a blind void kitty--Daisy. 💕 The shelter I adopted her from said we were the perfect couple because I had no preconceived notion of what cats "should" be able to do and she would get to have the loving home she deserved. I would adopt another blind kitty in a heart beat. Special need kitties hold a special place in your ❤ forever. 💯

My blind cat is very cuddly and likes to be carried around. When I'm ready to put him back down, I always make sure to either return him to the exact location and position where I picked him up, or to put him down on a unique surface that he can feel and know exactly where he is--the rough door mat, for example, or on my bed, or on the carpeted base of his cat tree. Just so he doesnt get confused by being airlifted and then left somewhere new!

Great video. I had a cat that was about 12-13 yrs old when she went blind. The way I found out was with a laser toy. She slowly could not see it until it got close to her. She lived normally for the rest of her life. The vet said she could make out shapes of images if they were brightly lit. I put night lights in every outlet in the house for her. You would not know she was blind. She got around the entire house fine. Even played every day and woke me up at 4:30 am every day.

Hopefully he bonds to his brother and they spend their life together. That’s a real positive for a blind cat is a buddy to trust.

As someone who adopted a blind kitten at 6 months - these are great tips! Mine requires meds daily and I have started to make up little songs that let him know it’s med time and what we’re going to do with them. These audio cues have really helped with medicating which can be a stressful time anyway.

Sunny and Benidict are so adorable. And I love that Sunny is such a blep-kitten.

I would think these are great tips for adopting any kitten. Their whole world has changed. Consistency in such a huge change. Hannah, you have to be one of the kindest humans on the face of the earth.

These sweet babies with impairments don’t know they’re different and they’re worth loving. These two are adorable 🥰 Thank you Kitten Lady and Andrew and your group of loving people around you, for all you do for cats and kittens and dogs and pigs and ducks and any creature that needs help. You guys are awesome 🤩

I have a blind cat who I have had since he was 9 weeks old. He's over a year old now. Byron is a confident daredevil now.

My brother and sister in law adopted a miniature poodle 2-3 years ago. She’s born blind, but that doesn’t stop her from being any other dog. This kitten definitely doesn’t let his blindness stop him from doing whatever any kitten loves to do!

Sunny is so precious. Watching both of those kittens play, I can't even tell which one is the blind one and which one can see cause it shows that a cat that is blind is no different than one that can see. I love seeing how much love and how fun he has.

I feel certain that Sunny can see how much you love him.

My cat is not blind but I hope Benedict and Sunny have a good forever home. I love your channel Hannah.

Ms. Lory has The PixieNator and is blind. We saw her go from VERY spicy way more often than not, to extremely caring and cuddly. She still has her moments, but has come a LONG way. Blind cats do not know they can't see.

A friend of mine has a cat which turned blind. He uses a water fountain. The cat can hear the water running and locate it. It helped greatly with water intake. He has one that is always running. Not a motion activated..

We adopted a void kitty who is missing one eye and is about 90% blind in the other and he does that head bob when he's trying to track stuff too! It's so cute! And it's amazing just how well blind kitties get on with life!

We recently adopted a partially-blind kitten (blind in one eye) He has horrible depth perception and spins around a lot (to get his bearings with his good eye!) but other than that, he is absolute terror! (We love him lmfao) We were really worried when we first got him, because while he could see out of one eye, he didn't understand he couldn't see with his other one and he'd bump into everything on that side. He's learned he does indeed have a whole other half to his body (though still sometimes pokes his eye on toys when they don't meet his whiskers). He's managed not to get any ulcerations thus far and is growing up (and learning) just fine!

I have an elderly blind cat who had to learn how to navigate stairs when we bought our new place. I have a video of her using one paw to find the edge of the stair then hopping down and then repeating this for each step. Took her a few days to learn and master with our supervision but now she goes up and down then like a pro!

I currently have been fostering a blind kitty for a month. He's older and lost his eyesight due to infection. We keep him in a separate room and let him explore the house when he wants to. He's constantly mapping out the house and learning where things are.

i’m not sure if it’s bcus i’m on period right now but i cried when those kittens playing around happily beside you and the little kitten brother was teasing the blind kitten THOSE SCENES MELTED MY HEART SOOOO BAD 😭💓 they’re so adorable i hope they will find their forever home!

I found this super interesting, as our late small dog went blind in the last few years of her life. She adapted really well, and I honestly found accommodating her to be a pretty interesting challenge. We went all in on the noisy toys, and she loved them. Some blind animals might have a bit of light perception too, like our girl did, so toys that also light up or reflect light could also be a possibility. The experience left me very passionate about caring for blind animals and I definitely would be open to adopting a blind cat if I ever get the opportunity

I started volunteering at a cat rescue thanks to your videos, it’s so beautiful to help them ❤❤❤

Your channel really makes me happy c:

if you are not sure the kitten is blind, a laser pointer is a good tool: all it is is light, no sound with its motion. I had one foster with no central vision, but he could scan his head back and forth and get some visual cues.

Thank you for this! I have a blind cat and she is every bit as active an happy as any other cat Ive had. She's 11 yrs old and has brought so much joy to me!

it made my day when i heard they're getting adopted together! These kitties are just the cutest!

Two little angels😺😺❤

Kitten Lady, the work you do is amazing.

Kitten lady is back!

Hi Hannah! You are an angel with the huge heart! I am currently unemployed but the day I find a job I know I will RUN to the local pet shelter and become a mommy to two kitties.....they are angels with Whiskers! Just seeing this video warms my heart! I sometimes help feed my neighbors cat when they are traveling and last time I was at my neighbors house I got so much love and kisses from the kitten that my heart melted 😻🐈

Those kitten with some disability need a much loving person like you, I love cats 🐈

😻🫶 *Precious Sweeties! Strength & Courage, Love & Luck y'all!* 🍀🤞

Having a sibling to play with and guide him is probably also really important, too! Thanks for all these tips, Hannah.. lots of special kittehs out there.

Unrelated to the fostering, I just want to say these two have such cute faces! They're adorable!

I am so glad that Sunny and Benedict are being adopted together. Thank you for this informative vlog!

Look how cute and adorable they're ❤❤, I'm glad that they're going to their forever home together❤

I do the "hand rustle" also when wanting to pet one of my cats that is napping. I rustle it so they know my hand is close and therefore aren't completely startled when I pet them.

I never had a kitten/cat but I really like watching your videos because your knowledge, caring, compassion and everything else you do is just fantastic to watch..

Sending you love Hannah 🖤

God bless you Kitten Lady!!😸🙏🏼❤

I had a cat that went blind at 6 yrs old due to early cataracts. Our vet was amazing with good advice very similar to yours. The only addition was to keep the main areas of the home free from excess floor clutter. Pepper had his home mapped out in his head, moving a chair or an unexpected box or childs toy could cause injury. Other than that, he had free range of the house and could zoom out with his sisters just like a sighted cat 😂. He was amazing. So smart!

I don't have a blind kitten but i had to watch bc i have two orange kitties that look almost identical to the ones in the video! So cute!

I do the hand noise thing with my (seeing) cats! One of them used to be overwhelmed when pet sometimes, but when i started making a hand noise above his head before I pet him, he became so much more cuddly! Instead of jumping away from an unexpected touch, he could signal to me whether or not he wanted to be pet, by either lifting his head up to meet my hand, or not reacting. He was a grown cat by the time we came up with this system, and he caught up to it quickly

As a vision impaired person, honestly a lot of these apply to blind people too. We're just like anyone else, but please don't move stuff, and we just need time to get used to spaces, and then we are fine. Also, clicking fingers is absolutely how to help us find what you are handing to us. Thank you for advocating for this awesome kitten, and all blind kittens

I was so worried that the brothers would be adopted separately. Thank God they go together. Great story, beautiful kittens. 😎🇬🇧🇺🇸👍

Thank you, Hannah, for WHO you are and ALL you do! You are the BEST! :)

It’s always great for kittens to be adopted together, but especially important for disabled and/or traumatized cats.

Look at these babies omg, how can you resist these faces??????

My husband and I adopted a deaf cat and he was just the sweetest boy, we would always talk to him and call him even though we knew he couldn't hear us

We had a foster kitten that had very poor vision. Friendliest little guy ever. I'd come down into the living room in the morning and sit on the steps and put on my shoes. He knew something was going on there, but he couldn't see well enough to see the laces or bat at them.

Oh my, i just love ginger cats. These two boys are so cute. I have a 7 month old ginger male named Link. Hes just the most velcro little man. Sunny is such a smart boy.

Aww Hannah those to adorable kitties are so lucky to have you as a foster. Much love to you

i have a deaf cat and she's the best thing that's ever happened to me ❤❤❤❤

I am glad they get to stay together.

I hope they find the best homes

I have a blind kitty, and the only reason I didn't get him a 6' tall tower is because he's such a lunatic that I know at some point he'd knock it over when he's going full tilt. He's fearless and has no limitation whatsoever. Glad to see you mention the importance of having a signal as to where your hand is. Mine is two taps. Finger and thumb if I want him to find my hand. Two taps on a toy before I throw it (he hates toys that make sound btw, and prefers totally silent pom poms, not hard for an animal who can detect a gnat from across the room), two taps if I want him to notice something on the ground, etc. One thing I don't often see in videos about blind cats is the importance of verbal cues, the most important one being when you leave the house for a long period of time, we say, "bye kitty." But we also ask that everyone who enters the home greets him, "hey kitty." And we have a range of other words like "up?" "do you want sniffs?" "good morning/night" "hungry?" etc. Great video!

Such a special kitten. Lovable little guy.

We had a blind dog and several blind mice and it’s amazing how little it effects animals. Of course some adjustments need to be made but animals don’t seem to rely on sight as much as we do. For the dog all we had to do was keep the footprint of the furniture consistent and her food and water in the same place. We were fortunate to live in a single story house so we didn’t have to worry about that. Other than the occasional bump or trip she was very normal.

You always do such a great job preparing people for different types of needs. Weather it is fostering or forever homes. Thanks 😘😘🤗 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Hi Hannah, I just wanted to say that I recommend you as someone who fosters kittens, I’m also sorry for Eloise, your white cat she was so brave may she rest in peace 🪦

Oh no. A blind orange kitty? Chaos. Utter chaos. No brakes. No stoppage. Just unbridled, aimless mayhem. I love the kitty already. 😂😂😂

They’re SO CUUUUTE ❤

Thank you for all you do!!!

They’re so precious!😻😻

I love you Hannah!❤

We have that same scratch arch - We've gone through 4 of them our cats love them so much!!

Hannah you are just amazing. Thank you for all you do. ♥♥🐱

That is good they are for sure a Bonded pair. They look like twins.

I rescued a blind 4 month old kitten to keep her from spending a Michigan winter outdoors. She was missing an eye and the other eye is oversized and membrane looking but stable. She mapped out every room she was in quickly and then just enjoyed life. She fetches and returns, loves paper balls because she can hear them roll. Ping pong ball in the dry bath tub is a huge hit. She is the love of my life, she is so functional that I forget she is blind at times. She is indoor only and I pat my hand on chairs and coffee tables to show her where to go. Rarely do I have to help her get down or get her out of trouble. Blind cats can do anything a cat can do but see. I would take another similar but I am at my limit. Don't let this disability stop you from adopting, you won't be sorry!

MY SENIOR CAT WENT BLIND. FEB 18 WILL BE ONE YEAR THAT HE PASSED. I MISS BABY

Adorable! 😊

I hope I can adopt blind cats/ kittens someday, they're still cats and deserve love

I love all your videos they're very educationand sweet. I've always had In my life. Even when I was a baby. I actually love any kind of animal. But I've always lived in Apartments. So cats have always been easier to take care of. Please keep on making these videos. They really cheer me up NR Berry entertaining as well.❤

I have my orange kitten who's name is sunny he's not blind however but it's cure how similar their personalities are despite that fact ❤🤗

I noticed that his environment has lots of different textures to it, too. I'm assuming cats paws are highly sensitive to that? Do you find that helps him orient himself as well? Thanks for sharing! His little tongue peeking out was so cute!!

Hannah,you are the best! 😁😻😻😻😻🎖

I had a 13 year old cat that I didn't realize was going blind until I noticed that whenever I picked her up and put her down again, she looked lost. After that I always made sure I put her back down in the same exact place again, and then she was fine. She'd just carry on where she left off with no problem. She never seemed to have any other problems at all with it.

Earlier this evening I was drinking my coffee on the front porch when i heard a kitten meowing in the distance as if it were hurting or being hurt, the meowing became meows for help and got closer and closer, I looked down the sidewalk and a little kitten came running in my direction all filthy, matted, bumps and wounds all over its body, fleas, goopy eyes, and feels like something hard sticking out on its chest area, it keeps meowing like it might be in pain and i can't get to a vet at all this time of night, i cleaned up the kitten a little and the baby is eating both soft and wet food, good appetite, up moving around and constantly cuddling me, head bumping me and clearly making me mama, I am indeed keeping the cat as my own, but im sending out a cat lady SOS guys I have raised many kittens and cats but a possibly abused kitten in this bad shape is new to me.

I've had 2 blind cats and both of mine haven't liked being picked up because they don't know where they're going to ve out down. Of course there are times when they have to be picked up and I make sure I put them back down near an item which gives them a frame of reference as to where they are. My present blind cat goes in our garden because she can't get out and she loves to run around with us when we're outside. Sometimes she'll bop into a wall but she's not bothered and scoots round happily. I have 2 cats at the moment and the blind cat is the boss! Even if she gets pounced on sometimes, she gets her revenge 😼 Her favourite toy is a kicker toy because she can't 'lose' it like she does with balls because she can't see where she's thrown it.

I know some people use different textured blankets so their blind pet can also know where they are based on the texture under their paws.

So cool

The funny part is, that even though Sunny is blind, you can see, that it lives like a kitten should be. About Benedict. From the beginning of the video, it was planning something naughty. It moved around to not get caught, and closed in fast. It might have been stored energy, but that small fast attack in the end shows, that it really was trying to be naughty 😂

Hannah , muito amor para você e também para os seus maravilhosos gatinhos ❤❤❤❤❤❤🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰‼️🇵🇹

I sincerely hope they will be adopted together and kept inside so that the seeing brother can help the blind brother navigate. ❤❤

Thank you.

Love cactus 🌵😻🕯️🌹 cat tree. Ty 😊👍 for teaching me about blind kitties. God bless you and yours. I know you work hard 💪 to help the precious felines.💖🙏🤲❤️💞😄

It got a blind cat I can't move stuff around too much other wise she bumps in things, I've had to bump proof everything 😅

Water fountains are a must

❤❤❤❤❤

Thank you

Aww
