Dr. Michelle M. Brownstein, a vet in Rochester, New York, saw a desperate Twitter message about a black and white blind cat named Nick who was to be euthanized the next day.
"There was something about his face, his posture," Brownstein told Democrat and Chronicle. "It just got to me. The cat had absolutely no hope."And so Brownstein posted on the Pets on Death Row Facebook page:
I will take Nick.. I own Henrietta Animal Hospital in Rochester, NY. www.henriettahosp.com just need someone to bring him up here.

| Mick in his new home. |
And more good news, it was discovered Mick is not blind, he had cataracts.
Read more here in the Democrat and Chronicle the newspaper that broke this story about the remarkable people who helped saved Mick and got him to his special home.
In an amazing turnabout, you can follow Mick's new life here on Twitter. The very technology that saved his life.
this made me cry with happiness...thanks so much for sharing!
ReplyDeleteAww Caren! I love happy stories!
ReplyDeleteOh wonderful -- THANK YOU Dr Brownstein!!Nick's got a good life ahead of him, and now he can SEE!!! <:-D
ReplyDeleteBut still ... I think of all those other cats who WERE euthanized that day at that shelter -- and all the others all over the nation. I hope that one day those kinds of deaths will no longer be "necessary".
I love this story..thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteACE Attura: I totally agree...I too hope that one day those kinds of deaths will no longer be "necessary."
ReplyDeleteCatsparella: Thank you! :)
What a wonderful rescue. We hate that any animal is ever on "death row."
ReplyDeleteJan's Funny Farm: I totally agree. So awful any animal is ever on death row. I know so many people who opened up their homes to rescue kitties. And the owners feel so fortunate.
ReplyDeleteSo glad Mick found a home.
