Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Hi! My name is Scamp and I am an adorable little male kitten that Kitty Junction happened to see while at ACCT to pull another litter. I was all by myself in a huge cage shaking violently from both the cold and out of fear, crying my little heart out and desperately reaching through the bars at the voices I could hear but not see:( My eyes were completely crusted shut so I could not see anything and I was approximately a month old but only weighed 4 ounces. My rescuers could only imagine how terrified I must have been. They knew once they saw me that they could not leave me there as the chances of me getting out alive due to my health and being in an already full kill shelter were sadly very slim. They opened my cage and said I literally jumped into their arms so happy to not be alone. They rushed me directly to their vet who gave them antibiotics and eye drops for me and they all prayed for the best.
Fast forward 8 weeks and my rescuers were so happy to say that I was doing better despite the set back of finding out that they thought I may be blind due to the severe eye infections I had before they rescued me. Once the eye drops starting to work and they were able to get a good look at my eyes, they knew it did not bode well:( They took me to see Dr. Glickstein at VSEC who is one of the best eye doctors in the area and he unfortunately confirmed their suspicions that I was completely blind and that the best chances of me having a normal life free of recurring eye infections would be to have them cleaned out and surgically closed. I just had to wait until I was much bigger and stronger before he could perform the surgery.
Fast forward many months later and here I am!! I just had my surgery AND I have the most amazing furever home in the world!!! Thank you so much Sharon for coming to see me at the Doylestown Pet Valu and falling completely in love with me!!! My new mommy Sharon, daddy Jack and human sister Maddy have all been giving me the best of care and SO much love through the past few months and are so overjoyed to know that I am now able to live a pain-free, infection-free life!! Not only do I have the best human family possible, I also get to live with my new kitty best friend Roo, kitty sister Lucie and doggy brother Bud who is a Roxy Therapy Dog! Me and Roo hit it off immediately:) You see, Roo is also a special needs kitty. She was born with two deformed front legs but that doesn't stop her at all! We love to wrestle and groom one another:)
We could not have dreamed for a better life for our little Scamp!! We cannot thank Sharon and her amazing family enough for all of the love and care they give this little guy and to everyone else that so generiously donated to this little guy's surgery making this one of our Happiest Happy Tails ever!!!!
