Yes, miracles do happen!

Noble has had some tough breaks so far in his short life.  He was recently living, just barely, in an abandoned house in Taylor, and when he was trapped he was found to have a serious condition – he was born with no eyelids.  He could still see, but squinted much of the time- the lights hurt his eyes and one eye was becoming cloudy.  He required artificial tears put into his eyes frequently to prevent them from drying out and matter from building up and causing him pain and discomfort.  Worst of all, Noble would go blind in the not too distant future without an expensive surgery.

In the rescue community every cat is special…..but it’s not often that we have a chance to save a cat from going blind.  The word went out to the extended Shadow Cats family of animal lovers all over, and their response was immediate.  The $2,000 needed for Noble’s surgery was raised in one weekend!  Suddenly Noble’s life has gone from a daily struggle for survival and a grim future to one surrounded by love and support.


Noble had his surgery in San Antonio in July and all went well.  He is almost completely healed from his surgery, and has been released by his doctor.  We know that if Noble could speak, he would most certainly tell you how grateful he is to everyone for their support, and how it has dramatically changed his life.  He is one happy kitty!

We’ll never know whether Noble was abandoned or just got lost, but he loves people and plays energetically but gently.  Despite what he’s been through he’s very affectionate, and loves to be scratched and have his belly rubbed.  In his foster home he gets along great with the other cats.  His foster mom says he’s the happiest cat in the world!

Now Noble needs just one more miracle….a forever home.  When cats are rescued like this, they often turn out to be incredibly loyal and devoted, as though they know just how lucky they are.  Other than his missing eyelids, which will soon be corrected, he’s a typical young cat with no other health problems.  Noble is only two years old, and has a lifetime of love and devotion he’s waiting to give to the right person…could that be you?
