Blind Gender: Female Approximate age: Arrived From: St. Pauls, NC Arrival Day: 2009 Cassie had a very rough start in life. She was discovered at a local trash dump when our founder, Alana, and her daughter were dropping off some trash. There was a group of feral cats living at the dump that BCR was feeding and and trying to get fixed and Cassie showed up with the group. When they approached her, when was frightened and tried to run away but got tangled in the fence. They discovered that poor Cassie had no eyes and took her right to the vet. It was clear she wasn’t a feral cat so it’s possible she was dumped there by an owner who didn’t want a blind cat. Even with all that, Cassie was in good health other than an eye infection and worms, both of which were treated right away. In 2012 she began experiencing infection in her eye sockets so the decision was made to close them up. Cassie was super shy and afraid of most people for a long time. When Uncle Fester joined her room some new BCR magic took over and she has relaxed so much and lets people pet her. She is a very sweet and loving cat!

12/17/2025 Dear Supporters, December has already been an incredibly difficult month for Blind Cat Rescue, and it breaks our hearts to share even more sad news. With deep sorrow, we must let you know that our sweet Cassie has crossed over the rainbow bridge.  This morning, when we were gathering the cats for a routine vet day, we noticed Cassie was labored breathing. She went to the vet and after X-rays, we were met with imaging that she had cancer. It leaves us feeling hopeless when we find out this way. She was just at the vet in september where bloodwork was normal, her new thyroid medication dose was mainating and her heart diagnostics were comparable to earlier this year.  Although we cannot be prepared for everything we try our best to. She had a lump removed last September that came back with cancerous cells but since it was removed before they were concerned, it may be bone cancer. Because of you she has blossomed and has known what love and forever is.  Cassie was part of our lives for 16 beautiful years. From the moment she was a tiny, helpless kitten rescued from a fence at the county dump by Alana and her daughter, to her final days as a gentle senior cat, she was deeply loved every step of the way. While we may never know what those first few difficult weeks of her life were like before she was found, we take comfort in knowing that every day after was filled with safety, warmth, and an endless amount of love and light.   We promised her forever, and we kept that promise.  Alana and Sam
