Notes from A Home of Their Own Animal Rescue
Meet Tippy — The Miracle Boy! Tippy is one very special little boy with an incredible story of resilience, a heart full of sweetness, and so much love to give! Tippy was rescued by one of our wonderful partner organizations from heartbreaking conditions alongside many other kittens desperately in need of help. Sadly, he was very sick as a tiny kitten and developed severe eye infections that required extensive treatment, numerous veterinary visits, tests, and examinations. Through it all, his incredibly dedicated foster provided round-the-clock care, making sure this little fighter had everything he needed to heal. And what a comeback he has made! Tippy has overcome his infections, and although he has some residual scarring that leaves his eyes looking a little cloudy, he has come such a long way. His infections have resolved, and his remaining cloudiness is due to scarring from his illness. He may be a little more cautious when navigating unfamiliar surroundings or deciding whether to leap into something new, but that doesn’t stop him from enjoying life! Despite everything he has endured, Tippy has remained the sweetest boy. He tolerated all the treatments and care he needed without ever getting upset with the people trying to help him. Now, he’s ready to focus on the fun stuff! Tippy LOVES playing with toys, and a fishing-pole toy is hands-down his favorite game. He also enjoys wrestling and playing with his feline friends. He’s a sweet, gentle soul who has already shown us just how much strength and spirit can fit into one little kitten. Because of his eye scarring, Tippy would do best in a quieter, predictable home where he can become familiar with his surroundings without having to navigate lots of new things being moved around or placed in his path. With a little patience, a safe environment, and time to build confidence, he can settle in at his own pace and continue to thrive. A friendly feline companion who enjoys playing would be a lovely bonus for this playful boy! Tippy has already overcome so much in his young life. Now, he deserves a family who will see past his cloudy eyes and recognize the beautiful, resilient, loving kitten looking back at them. His eyes tell a story of what he’s survived, but they don’t define who he is. Could you be the person who gives our miracle boy his happily-ever-after? Tippy has tested negative for FIV/FeLV, and is current on all age appropriate treatments and vaccines. Tippy will be neutered and microchipped on 10/26 and will be ready to find his forever family!
