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.

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

[–] Leolam84@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year 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 1 year 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

[–] Leolam84@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year 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!
