“Blind” Stray Cat Surprises Rescuer After Revealing Incredible Beauty Of His Eyes
301Kviews
Meet Cotton the cat who was found blind in the outdoors, got rescued, and then one day, when he opened his eyes, surprised everyone around him. “Little by little he started to gain weight. It was a nice surprise to see that he had one blue eye and one yellow eye. His hair started to grow again,” Carmen Weinberg, founder of Animal Friends Project, told Love Meow about Cotton’s incredible transformation.
The kitty was found wandering the streets in Royal Palm Beach, FL. The man who spotted the cat said that “Cotton came out of nowhere” and started eating from the bowl of food he had for his cat. He said Cotton seemed “very hungry, like if he had not eaten in days.”
The guy shared a post on Facebook, asking for someone to help the cat, when Weinberg reached out. “Early the next morning, I drove to pick him up. I took him immediately to my vet… and they confirmed that he was suffering from mange.”
The mange disease was exactly why the kitty couldn’t open his eyes, but Weinberg was set to do everything to make the feline recover – and now Cotton is one healthy and gorgeous cat! Meanwhile, Weinberg is on a mission to find this sweet cat who ‘likes to be wherever you are’ a loving forever home.

Thank you to all involved. Stories like this is soul food for me.
Now that's the kind of heart-warming story I needed to read. I truly hope this beautiful kitty finds a forever home real soon <3
What a beautiful kitty :)
Are humans like this too? So ugly-looking, broken, shriveled, but with kindness, treatment, and loving care we might all open our eyes one day, gaze about in wonder, and reveal our own beauty? Here's a big shout-out to all the carers in this world, all those who can see the good souls within the 'mange'.
What a beautiful transformation story! God bless Cotton n his wonderful rescuers!
Beautiful story!! For the rescuer: you are and angel who could see beauty beyond blindness of the eye!! Bless you!!
My cat has two different coloured eyes and so do I. How wonderful this gorgeous kitten was given a second chance and one lucky person will get to share his love as he lives his days in a happy and well cared for home. Beautiful story.
I had a cat who looked just like this. Best cat ever.
I want him. Such a sweet kitty.
I want him.
Is he still adoptable??
My heart is breaking and melting all at once!
Pleeeeeeeeease give me that cat
i am not sure but i think this is a thoroughbred turkish van or Angora cat. both are turkish originated.
Why would you want to get rid of him?
Why don't they just keep him?
How do I adopt cotton
What a beautiful, heartwarming story. I hope this precious kitty finds a loving, forever home soon.
I'm obsessed with cats, this is beautiful!
Do we have adoption info for cotton? ❤️Thanks
What a beautiful story, AND a beautiful person
Aww it happened to me too! I save a cat and he was blind.. I kept near the fireplace for two days and he opened his eyes :)
Wow what a beauty, I would love to take this gorgeous being but we have so many coyotes around.....
Nice-looking cat.
WOW this is truly a beautiful cat! She will find a forever home and her own human to love her. A very heart warming story!
Where is he?
I think good people like these restore my (often shaky) faith in human nature!
I think this kind of cat can be worth upwards of 10000 bucks. I have one like him (with only one ear due to skin cancer though). I remember seeing that somewhere people.were paying a lot of money for kitties like him.
Are they still searching for a home? I would gladly take her in! Tho I am a bit far...
This cat is just stunning now! You are a wonderful human.
I'll take him he's a beauty
I do wonder why the guy who found him originally didn't help him and instead posted on FB " asking for someone to help the cat"...
maybe taking the kitty in, and finding hi, someone who could afford to help, was all he was in a position to do. I have done the same. I am not in a position to pay for vet bills, but I can keep them safe, warm and fed til I can find a rescue or someone who can help!
Yes , true
At least he took the first step when maybe who knows how many people just ignored the poor kitty.
Made my day.
Is he adopted?
I want a cat like him/her
where are you based?
Praying for a forever home, but perhaps he now has one.
Why wouldn't Weinberg keep Cotton?! I sure would! Especially after seeing what his eyes looked like, I wouldn't be able to turn down the adorable kitty!
lovely.
Aww I'm in love
This is the most SAD and at the same time heart warming story I've read in a long time. Does Cotton have a LOVING home yet????? I Volunteer at our local NO KILL Animal shelter in Southern Mn, and I'd love to give Cotton a Loving FUR EVER LOVING HOME.. I have 6 cat's and All but (2) of them are adopted from our shelter 2 are blind that I'm permanently fostering. I guess you can say they ARE MINE. I provide everything but the shelter pays for their medical needs. Please let me know if I can adopt him. Thank you Toni (aka) "Sassy momma cat"
What a lovely cat. It makes me incredibly happy whenever I hear about stories like this.
Them ears!
<3
Is he adopted? Sure would like to give him a forever home.
Oh he's soooo beautiful!! I'd love to have him!! But it depends on what state the cat is in and how far away....I would love to be his forever human....
That sure is a transformation. What a beautiful cat!
What a good person to rescue this cat! Cat is just a total beauty now; on the inside and outside!
The ugly (and abandoned) little duckling turned into a beautiful swan/ cat! Good he's received care and is healthy now!
I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE CRYING RITE?? PLS TELL ME Y'ALL ARE CRYING TOO
BEAUTIFUL CAT! Amazing (# ^ u ^ # )
What a paw-some ending to that un-fur-tunate tail
Thank you.
What a beautiful little tiger!
Josss
My cat is also white and with colourful eyes! Would have loved to get her a guy-friend. Petty I am probably too far from u..
The human spirit is that made of loving care. This is what we should continue to do, not just or pets but for people as well. God Bless the human spirit.
How did he regain his sight? Ive got a blind feral kitty rescue and i would love to fix her eyes!
The kitty had mange. When they removed it he was able to see.
What a beautiful cat...!
I should have added that in Turkish his name would be Pamuk, Turkish for Cotton.
This cat appears to be a "Van" cat, a breed exclusively from the Van area in Eastern Turkey. They are indeed striking and beautiful cats, notable for their lovely pure white coats and different coloured eyes. I hope he finds a loving forever home soon.
I'd take him in a cold minute, but I have three cats.
He looks like my nearly sixteen Simon (but way leaner.)
I would adopt that kitty!!
Bless you all for helping this beautiful creature!! What wonderful hearts you have!!!
Lovely cat :)
Lovely cat. May god bless him.... :)
Love heals everything
Turkish Van cat and my cat are the same
Kin (gold) Gin (silver) eyed cats are considered good fortune in Japan. May Cotton bring good fortune to Carmen, his rescuer, and the family that gives him his forever home.
I"M NOT CRYING MY EYES OUT, YOU GUYS ARE
I love the post. Thanks for showing kindness. God bless you.
Where was this beautiful cat found as a friends cat went missing a year or so ago looking exactly the same as this cat????
