Ventura & (Haystack)

Haystack and Ventura are a simply adorable duo of mischief and adventure!

They were born with a rare condition called eyelid agenesis, which means that their eyelids are not formed properly. This can cause a lot of pain, discomfort and damage to their eyes, and if left untreated may lead to impaired vision and blindness.

Luckily for these little ones, they came into care here at AAPS and received top quality care from our awesome vet team as well as a specialist eye vet. They received an amazing surgery where a small section of their lip was removed to create functioning eyelids, and now they are feeling a lot better.

These boys have been through a lot together, but it has just brought them closer, partners in crime! They are a testament to the saying “opposites attract” – Ventura is more of a reserved fellow, and Haystack is the life of the party. They have been socialised with other cats and dogs, so they would fit into a variety of different lifestyles.

They would prefer a home with grown up/respectful children and would be THRILLED if they had an outdoor cat-enclosure in their new home as they were spoilt with one in their foster home! This isn’t necessary however as long as they get plenty of love, play and enrichment in their home to keep their brains and bodies busy!
