Rescued Cat with Blind Eyes Finds Love and Affection from a Kindhearted Man

Rescued Cat with Blind Eyes Finds Love and Affection from a Kindhearted Man

Animal rescuers often feel overwhelmed with emotions upon witnessing the immense suffering of abandoned animals. These furry companions endure hardships like homelessness, hunger, and thirst, and some even face severe health issues due to neglect. It’s truly miraculous that these resilient creatures manage to survive in such deplorable circumstances until someone comes to their rescue. Once these precious companions are discovered and provided with a loving home, they have the chance to blossom and show their true nature. It’s in these moments that we all realize how things should be, and it becomes evident that they deserve to live lives filled with happiness and fulfillment.

Little Wanderers NYC received a phone call reporting a stray kitten found in a neighborhood located in the Bronx.

One day, Sunny, who works as an animal rescuer at Little Wanderers NYC, got a call about a kitten that was found in a neighborhood in the Bronx, New York. Sunny teamed up with a caregiver who takes care of a nearby cat colony and they immediately sprang into action to save the tabby.

Because of the street cleaning, there were no kittens in sight when they reached the location. To lure the kitten out, Sunny placed some food on the ground and started playing cat sounds on her phone to grab its attention.

When the rescuers eventually located the tabby, they quickly noticed her eyes.

“At first, she was thought to have a severe case of entropion (a condition in which the eyelid is turned inward). Once I saw her, I realized there was more going on with her eyes,” Sunny shared with Love Meow. Fortunately, the rescue team found that she was totally blind and that her eyes had ruptured.

The small cat was named Oracle, and when she was brought to the animal hospital, she curled up in the corner of the carrier. “She was extremely scared because she didn’t know what was going on.”

She was likely around five months old when she received this important medical care.

“She likely would not have made it long (outside). Being blind and being a stray street cat is a recipe for disaster. She’s been rescued, and her life is forever changed.”

Tim, a teacher at a public school and a passionate volunteer at the rescue, has expressed his desire to care for the kitten.

After Tim took Oracle under his wing, the blind tabby started to gradually engage with people and got used to living indoors. The once fearful kitten quickly blossomed, finding solace in a peaceful bedroom, nourishing meals, and cozy bedding provided by her loving caretaker. It’s no surprise that Oracle grew to adore and trust her foster father.

With the comforts of indoor life, Oracle’s confidence soared. Realizing she no longer needed to hide or fight for survival, she eagerly explored her new surroundings, sniffing and investigating. Eventually, she climbed onto Tim’s lap, seeking warmth and comfort in his gentle embrace.

These Pics Are Art and the Artists Are Insects

These Pics Are Art and the Artists Are Insects

Flying insects move so quickly that they are hard to follow, but new technology and some smart ideas have helped Spanish photographer Xavi Bou do just that. After spending 10 years focusing on birds in flight for his Ornithographies project, he turned his attention to insects.

For Entomographies, he uses high-speed video footage taken by Adrian Smith, an insect expert at North Carolina State University, to study and record how insects move. Bou then picks multiple frames and combines them into single images that show the fast movements of one or more insects through space and time.

With Smith’s help, Bou has captured the aerial tricks of wasps, the jumps of leafhoppers, and the fluttering of butterflies in amazing detail. He hopes that by doing this, he can make people more aware of the decline in important insect populations around the world.

1. Zebra longwing

This butterfly, which is common in many areas of the Americas, really fits its name. It can fly very high with just a few flaps of its large wings.

2. Two-lined spittlebug

This insect, which comes from the eastern United States, is often seen as a pest because it likes to eat grass. Its springy back legs can make it jump into the air like a rocket.

3. Yellow-collared scape moth

Unlike most moths, this North American species flies during the day. Its shiny blue-black wings sparkle in the sunlight.

4. Ailanthus webworm moths

These tropical moths have spread farther north in the U.S. Because of their larval host, the invasive tree of heaven, they are now one of the most common backyard moths in the country.

5. Common stonefly

Mostly found in eastern North America, this insect starts its life as an underwater nymph in forested streams or rivers. Then it leaves the water, sheds its skin, and becomes an adult with wings.

6. Green lacewings

Eighty-seven species of this insect have been found in the U.S. and Canada. Since they eat a lot of unwanted plant pests like aphids and mites, they are often used to naturally control these pests.

7. Grapevine beetle

This insect, fittingly named, eats the leaves and fruit of grapevines, both wild and farmed, but it doesn’t do much damage to the plants. As a type of scarab beetle, it often flies in a curved path.

8. Oak treehopper and green treehopper

Treehoppers are known for their uniquely shaped pronotum, the part behind their head, which often looks like plant parts to hide from predators. They can jump well thanks to special muscles.

9. Banded orange

This brightly colored butterfly can be found from Mexico to Brazil. Before mating season, male butterflies look for mineral salts, sometimes even drinking salty fluids from the skin, eyes, and nostrils of other animals.

10. Sapho longwing

Longwings can live for 6 to 7 months, longer than most butterflies. This type, found from Mexico to Ecuador, has shiny blue wings, which is why it’s also called the Sapphire longwing.

Eagle and Fox in an Epic Midair Battle Over a Rabbit, Were Captured by a Photographer

Eagle and Fox in an Epic Midair Battle Over a Rabbit, Were Captured by a Photographer

Wildlife photography often depends on the perfect combination of good timing and the right place.

That’s exactly what happened when Kevin Ebi, an experienced wildlife photographer, captured an incredible battle between a bald eagle and a red fox, both competing for a rabbit meal.

In a detailed blog post, Ebi shares the fascinating series of events that unfolded while he was photographing foxes in San Juan Island National Historical Park, located in Washington state.

Ebi noticed a lively group of eight fox kits as they began their hunting lessons. Suddenly, they spotted a rabbit, and a thrilling chase ensued. Eventually, one of the foxes emerged as the winner, proudly carrying the rabbit across the field.

Ebi shares what happened at that moment: “As I followed the fox with my camera, a sudden bald eagle cry caught my attention. It was swiftly approaching, clearly aiming for the rabbit. I quickly focused on the fox, anticipating a quick turnover of events.”

To Ebi’s astonishment, instead of a quick surrender, the situation turned into a intense fight in the air.

The eagle used its power to lift the fox and rabbit high up in the sky. Even while airborne, the fox attempted to break free by swinging back and forth.

In the end, the eagle moved the rabbit to its other claw, causing the fox to let go. The intense battle came to an end in less than 10 seconds.

For those worried about the fox’s well-being after the fight, Ebi reassures that it was not injured. The fox swiftly bounced back from the encounter and resumed its playful behavior with the other young foxes, showing no visible wounds from the aerial clash.
