Blind Luck or Loki?

Meghan took in a group of 4-month old kittens, as she had promised to a local resident. As she put them in a holding cage and the person bringing them was leaving — he said “by the way, the black one is blind.”

Throughout the day Meghan pondered how she was going to care for a blind kitten. Visitors to the shop came and went, but towards the end of the day a woman stopped by on her way home to Oregon.

She had 2 rescue cats of her own at home already, and when she asked “which kitty here needs me most” — there was a clear choice. Loki went home to Oregon that day! She told us: “I was blessed with Loki the blind kitty about 5 years ago when I visited RAIN. I saw her and knew she was for our family. She is rarely left alone without humans (we have 7 of us total) and is never without her pack of cats. We travel back and forth between Minnesota, Oregon and California.”

Loki travels with HER pack — Mr. Simmering (top step) and Smitty Kitty (middle kitty) help guide her and keep her company during the day. If Loki is left alone she gets in serious trouble — like pawing her way through window screens to reach whatever she hears or smells outside. Her hearing and smelling senses are very strong and she “hunts” helium balloons and all sorts of toys.
