Rescuers sаvеd Ollie and his two siblings from a bear den on a wild animal sanctuary in 2018. Sanctuary staff had waited for the mother cat to return, but sadly, she never came back. Then, Jen Koscheka, who worked at the sanctuary, fell in love with him right from the start. Today, she considers Ollie her “soul cat.”
At the time, Ollie and his siblings were two weeks old and needed round-the-clock bottle feeding. Unfortunately, his eyes never developed fully, and he was blind from birth. Later, a veterinarian diagnosed a congenital condition called microphthalmia in the left eye. Furthermore, he had anterior segment dysgenesis with adherent leukoma in his right eye. As you can see, the eye appears likе a “galaxy” of colors.
This cat is oozing with charisma and chаrm, a great spokescat for adơрting cats with special needs. It can be a life-changing rewarding experience and these cats pay back every kindness with so much unconditional love.
“Here is sweet Ollie at about 3 weeks old. [He] and his siblings were found in a bear den (!!!) at a Wild Animal Sanctuary! Ollie’s left eye never even developed, and the vet confirmed the congenital defect in his right about a week after this pic,” states the cat’s Instagram.
Fortunately, Jen and her partner Justin decided they would adơрt Ollie right away. Even better, they decided to foster his siblings too.
“We took them in, and bottle-fed them and got them veterinary care… and of course, pretty much knew day one Ollie was going to stay with us forever!! 💕🐱💕”
“Oh, hi! It’s #throwbackthursday and here’s me as a wee kitten!! I was a little bottle baby and was already full of smiles!!”
He Has Always Been an Adventurer
Ever since going home with Jen, Ollie has been a little adventurer who has always loved cuddling. Today, he sleeps between his humans each night and enjoys being cozy and snuggly.
“I carry it around all day and show it to my friends… I even bring it to the water bowl with me!” states his bio on America’s Favorite Pet.
Although he is blind, he may see some light and shapes and manages to get around just fine. At times, he tries to chase the other cats, and they play along with his funny antics.
