Tommy used to be a stray cat living in the high Californian desserts. He loved to come close to people and some of them even took care of him.
One day, however, a heartless person poured acid over his head just for fun. Tommy’s eye and half of his head were instantly destroyed.
Tommy had been suffering for days when a woman found him on the streets. She immediately took him to the vet.
However, the doctor didn’t really know what do to with him. He gave him some pills and cleaned his wounds, but his advice was frank and simple:
Tommy should be put out of his misery forever.
But the kind woman wasn’t going to give up that easily. She took Tommy to Milo’s Sanctuary for cats with special needs.
Here, he was given the right treatment, includin pain medication, sugar bandages and vitamins so that he would regain his strength.
About a month later, he was almost fully recovered.
The acid caused severe damage to the right part of Tommy’s face and he unfortunately lost his sight on one eye.
Although doctors feared that he would lose its sight on both eyes permanently, he is now just fine!
