I joined this site today in the hopes of getting some help for one of my cats, Samui. I am sorry that I started without introducing myself. I am a 30 year old white South African female living in a small town called Napier, Western Cape South Africa. I have two cat children, Samui an eight year old and Sullivan a 1 year old. I adopted Samui 8 years ago from TEARS (The Emma Animal Rescue Society) in South Africa. He was born with only the one eye. A week ago he developed a corneal ulcer in his healthy eye, I took him to the Vet in Bredasdorp, the closest vet to where I live. They were unable to treat him and referred me to an eye specialist in Cape Town, Dr Gary Bauer. The only way Samui's eye can be saved is to have an eye graft and this is a very expensive procedure. It would not have been so bad if Samui had two eyes but he only has the one.
My other cat I picked up in my moms garden in Worcester when I visited her for a weekend. He is a lovely little fellow and I love both of them to bits. I really am just looking for help because I can't do this on my own.
You are more than welcome to contact the Cape Animal Medical Centre to check if he is a patient there.
I am sorry that I didn't introduce myself before begging for money.
