Meet Daredevil: Blind and Beautiful

Playtime (see video below)

Imagine being dumped on a country road to fend for yourself in unfamiliar surroundings.

Now, imagine you’re a 3-month old kitten who is totally blind.  What are your odds of survival?

And so begins the story of Daredevil, an incredibly sweet and trusting kitten abandoned and left to die – just because he couldn’t see.  Fortunately, a friend of a Humane Society of Loudoun County (HSLC) volunteer found Daredevil and he is now safe and sound with us.

His nonstop purring and fondness for snuggling tells us that he is grateful to be alive and in such caring hands—perhaps for the first time in his young life.

Daredevil isn’t going to see again and his ruptured eyes have already been surgically removed. Currently, he is being fostered by a caring vet assistant who works at Towne Animal Clinic.

Resting after surgery

It takes a village to save a kitten’s life.  From the volunteers who rescue them from unthinkable situations to the foster parents who give them a loving home to the donors who help cover their various medical expenses. But, it’s all worth it when we can give a beautiful animal like Daredevil the happy ending he deserves.

Daredevil is looking for his forever home.  Check out his video below and see if you can resist this adorable love-muffin!
