Probably only 3 or 5 days after he was abandoned because he was so little and fragile. My wife and I heard the meow sound on the way home. We waited for several minutes and finally found him at the corner of a pile of trash, dirty, eyes closed with slimmy thing, almost dying.

Is everything alright with his eyes? Looks like he's blind.

[–] Leolam84@lemmy.world 1 points 17 hours ago

Thank you, he is fine. Actually the iris was changing at that time, it was grey-blue color. But now his eyes are as bright as stars!

Maybe it's just poor lighting and the kitten has brown eyes?

[–] Leolam84@lemmy.world 1 points 17 hours ago

Not that case. The iris was changing at that time, that's why.

The post body said their eyes were closed when they found them, and they were slimy. So probably got abandoned by the mother because it was a blind runt?

[–] Leolam84@lemmy.world 1 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Probably. His eyes must be affected when we found him, some slimmy thing just ran out of his eyes. His mother or his previous owner thought it was worthless to keep him... I am glad he is now a healthy and charming guy!

Do you have any more pictures of him

You are two good souls. You deserve a little cat in your lives, and a friend for years to come.

[–] Leolam84@lemmy.world 1 points 17 hours ago

Thank you. In fact that's our first cat, we've never kept any cats before, not to say to raise a new born kitten. Luckily, we know how to take good care of him as we search online and constantly ask friends that are cat owners.

Whoever gave this little baby a downvote is an absolute monster. Glad to hear he is doing well 🥰

You're so nice! Indeed he is so adorable and innocent. He is our family member, we all love him very much. 😀 Cheers!

Sorry for replying late. His name is Potbelly, which means a round belly as a pot. We gave him that name simply because the fun fact that every time he was full, his belly was as round as a BIG BALL! 😂
