I made a donation to Best Friends to help pay for the rescue of cats
and dogs from Lebanon in September. One way to make a donation is to
"sponsor" a specific animal. So here's the kitty I sponsored:

She's beautiful, and at least her former slaves made an effort to find
her safety as they couldn't take her with them.
I hope she finds a wonderful forever home.

Bowie has odd coloured eyes due to trauma a kid at school hit him in
the eye with a dart
Heterochromia (I think that'd the right spelling) in Humans is very
rare.
Dave has it. One dark brown eye and one blue one! People often comment
on it when they realise. My dad's reaction was that it was some sort of
genetic defect!
(Dave not amused)
And the kitty is lovely

Actually, I read that Bowie always had different coloured eyes,
but the trauma was responsible for the blown pupil. He has
one pupil that is permanently dilated, as a result of that
hit.

What a great idea for donations!
I sponsored two of them. Not from Lebanon, because when I clicked
on “Sponsor an animal” I got a generic sponsor page, and started
looking through them, and these two have issues that might make
them unadoptable for a while. :(

I just love black cats. This guy sounds like a Maine Coon, but he
has spraying issues.
https://www.bestfriends.org/donate/thankyou-sponsor.cfm?sponID=142
This one, oh this one! I just love his big eyes and funny face.
He has a birth defect and when the vet couldn't "fix" him, his
people wanted to have him killed. The vet couldn't do it. Thank
God. :)

He sure looks like a Maine Coon, doesn't he, with that big ruff of
fur in front.

That vet should be canonized! This kitty is beautiful, and they say she's
a real sweetheart and very playful.
Good going!

Wow, what unusual and beautiful eyes! You're brave, too. I'd be
afraid of accidentally being put on some watch list and getting
deported. :)

I forget, Tak, are you an immigrant? If so, then I can certainly
understand having anxiety about that. Whereas I don't know where I'd
be deported *to*, since I was born here.
Normally I would scoff at the idea that donating to an animal rescue
would make me a suspect (they're going to throw me in Guantanamo for
helping a kitty??). But with this paranoid government, who knows what
they're thinking?

Ooo Joyce! She is beautiful! She looks just like my daughter's first
cat, when she was 5. She named her Los Angeles, I have no idea why.
Some interesting trivia: If the cat is solid white, there is a very
good chance that she is deaf in the ear on the side of the blue eye.
Some weird genetic thing. (But if she has any color spots on her at
all, this doesn't hold true. It looks like she has a dab of brown on
top of her head)
Congratulations. My board directorship fees are due soon, and I've
spent way too much money on the shelter fundraiser. But I'd love to do
this too. Maybe after the 1st of the year.
