The National Animal Welfare Trust, Cornwall would like to introduce you to someone with a very special story. A kitten found cold, alone, and blind..... Meet Donut.

Donut was found at around three weeks old in woman’s garden in West Cornwall. Whilst gardening, a local lady heard a noise and discovered a tiny black and white kitten, lost, cold, lifeless and alone.

After looking for her mum with no success, the little one was brought to the local vets for some TLC and fluids, and with nobody coming forward as the kittens owner, she came up to NAWT, and was given her new name!

She was initially very weak, and they did not know how long she had been away from her mum.

Staff have worked with her every day and night since her arrival. Checking on Donut, bottle feeding her, helping her to wee and poo, and giving her any medications needed, and are happy to report that Donut is getting stronger (and sassier!) by the day!

At three weeks old, Donut should have still been feeding from her mum, but the trust has done everything it can for her in her place.

On arrival it was noted that Donut's eyes were looking gunky and needed regular cleaning.

After further monitoring and a visit from the vet, it was discovered that Donut is in fact blind.

That brings us to today when Donut is still having through the night feeds and interaction from staff. They have been introducing toys with different sounds to help her develop and giving Donut all the love she deserves.

Thanks to her finder, the vets, the trust's supporters, and the team at NAWT Cornwall, Donut will hopefully be safe and sound in a home right for her and her disability by Christmas. And it's one less homeless animal on the streets as the cold nights approach.
