    Story

    This is solo born in macedonia he is partially sighted,deaf and has neurological problems and balance issues. His mom had all her kittens born with no eyes or deformed eyes until she was caught and spayed. Mom and solo's brother went off one day and never returned , he became the sole survivor last in his line. I adopted solo and he began his long journey to live in the UK. He had one eye removed in macedonia that is giving him problems and this has to be done again. He has a small eye with some sight but no eyelid, this damaged lid is attached to his eyeball complete with eyelashes. Over time this will create damage resulting in him having to lose this eye. This ive been told will happen without a doubt. We have been offered a referral to a specialist for an operation using part of his lip as a graft to form an eyelid. This is expensive but will save his sight.

    With his other problems he will struggle to cope with no eyes. Please follow his story on my page written by melita the wonderful lady that saved him by writing his story and organising his transport. Thank you to his wonderful mommy one vanja mojsov for saving him and putting so much love into him.x

    All i ask is the chance to give my lovely boy a chance of a good life. If you can't donate can you please share. The cost of the operation is approx £2,000 and ive estimated it because i have no idea how much it will come out to, i'm trying hard to raise funds by other means. Please follow solo's progress and other kitties on my page.

    I have many special needs cats and believe every little misfit deserves a good life. Quality is of the utmost importance. Please help donate or share every penny helps and it is all gratefully received.
    Big thank you xx

      Hi good people, Solo's eye is amazing thanks to everyone that helped donate.He is having some painful issues with his back legs. Unsure if its a skeletal or neurological issue and i need to raise some funds for xrays and possible ct scans to find out what exactly is going on. Health wise he's doing well and his eye is fabulous he's fascinated with the new world that has opened up for him. Thank you everyone that helped make his new life possible. Will keep you updated on his progress. Thank you. Lyn and Solo xx

      Update for ppl that don't follow our fb page, we had a setback when he tore stitches in his face but healing well again. His eyelid is brilliant he has no 'dieback' and can blink and move his eye. With the tissue removed from other side that was pressing on his ear canal he has gained some hearing. With sight and hearing his future is looking bright. Thank you everyone xx We have a check up at our own vet tmr then with mike frm focus referrals a week today. Solo sends thank you hugs and kisses to all his new friends and followers 😚😚😚

      Finally the eyelid construction surgery is done, lovely boy can blink and move his eyeball thats been stuck to the skin for so long. Felt sick on the way not knowing what it was going to look like, my imagination running into a frankenstein moment more than once. Eyeball is not quite normal inside but Mike Rhodes was happy his sight was worth saving. Thank you Mike u are amazing xx Huge thank you to everyone that had faith to donate pls follow solo here, lets stay in touch we love u all. Thank you xx https://www.facebook.com/funnyfurryfings/
