Six-year-old Cotton, a stray cat, had lived a life filled with suffering. His face was covered in scabs that prevented him from opening his eyes, and he was found to be severely manged and famished. Cotton lived in complete darkness, and his body was stiff and restless due to the constant agony and itching caused by the mange. When she discovered him, Carmen Morales Weinberg, the founder of the Animal Friends Project in Florida, realized she had to assist.
The Road to Healing
Carmen was desperate to alleviate Cotton’s suffering, so she started treating him right away. She began by treating his pain and fighting the mange with calming creams and medicines. Cotton’s condition started to become better over time. For the first time in a long time, Cotton was able to sleep without itching all the time as his stiff body began to relax. Carmen was overjoyed to observe his development, but she had no idea what would come next.
An Amazing Moment
After receiving attention for several weeks, Cotton’s eyes finally opened. Carmen and her colleagues were amazed by what they saw. They thought Cotton was blinded by the mange for a long time, but now the world could see those stunning eyes. It was amazing how he changed. Cotton never left her side again, following her everywhere as if to express gratitude, as if he realized that Carmen had restored his sight.
