Blind kitten who regained her sight through loving care is thriving one year on

One day, one ordinary person and his family found it in their hearts to take in a tiny, abandoned kitten who had lost her sight due to a bad case of conjunctivitis.

Nevertheless, the father devoted himself to her care as she hovered between life and death, praying for the kitten’s full recovery.
