Emma & Gustave

My story

What is eyelid agenesis and how does it affect a cat’s vision? This genetic condition caused the eyelids to grow incorrectly and often results in eyes being poked by lashes too. We stepped in to take two heroes with this superpower with the help of our partner, Rocket Cat Rescue, from Solano Animal Care Services in June 2025.  Gus and Emma are “boneless” kittens who flop onto you for pets, demand to be carried, and sleep in your arms at night. They keep themselves busy and have excellent older cat manners and don’t mind a Malamute mix around the house. Gus is the chatty charmer and Emma is a floppy investigator. These two will be able to receive care at UC Davis through a grant for their condition for the next 12-18 months. Their ongoing needs are very minimal, but should either need additional surgery or care due to this condition, our door is always open and full of helping hands. They both have partial vision and aside from walking off of counters-they are normal, happy kittens who are ready for a home.  This foster home belongs to our partner rescue, Rocket Cat Rescue. The adult residents are experts at handling and raising cats who need extra considerations and have special needs. Their fosters are comfortable with a large, low energy dog and cats of all ages and types. These cats may have ongoing medical concerns, but all of their emergent needs are addressed and you'll receive detailed information from our medical team. Thank you for learning more about me!

Fosters are microchipped, combo tested for FIV/FELV, spayed/neutered, treated for fleas/parasites, and receive age/wellness appropriate vaccines. We lovingly pack a Welcome Home Hero gift bag with their favorite toys, treats, a comic to read with them, and a blanket that helps them feel safe anywhere they go.
