Story
Sunshine is a spayed female buff-and-white kitten, born on August 1, 2025. Sunshine was a very sick little kitten when she was rescued by an elderly couple along the roadside. It was summertime and she had burned feet which could have been caused by the asphalt road, but she also had a burned or scraped chest, singed whiskers, and a very damaged eye. She never let these issues slow her down! Eventually Sunshine was fully recovered except for that one damaged eye. Most likely it would need to be removed, but Dr Pam Poteat determined to do a delicate surgery to remove the damaged tissue that was almost completely covering her eye, just in case the eye could be saved. The surgery was successful!  As you can see in these pictures, Sunshine's eye does not look 'normal', but she can see out of it, and it is not diseased. She lives a fully active, happy life and she would make a wonderful addition to your family! Sunshine warms up easily to people and animals and she is litterbox trained. Indoor cat only! Adoption fee is $75. This covers the cost of spay/neuter, PVR, Rabies, flea, tick, ear mite and worm treatment. To adopt, you need to first fill out an application.
