Carmen Morales, the founder of Animal Friends Project, found a stray cat on the streets of Florida. The cat, that Carmen later named Cotton, appeared to be sick and in pain. It turned out that the cat suffered from mange, and it was so bad it had spread all over his body, affecting also his eyes.
Cotton was in serious troubles when Morales found him, he couldn’t see, and that made impossible for him to find food or shelter. After bringing him home, Morales created an isolated ward for Cotton inside her bathroom. She made sure to feed him healthy meals every day.
She also gave him antibiotics as part of the treatment. Cotton started to get better after a few days of eating regular meals and taking medicine.
Morales regularly applied coconut oil and ointment to Cotton’s irritated skin. After several weeks of continuous treatment and care, Cotton opened his eyes for the first time after months, and to Morales’ surprise, the cat wasn’t blind. Cotton’s eyes are beautiful, one eye is blue while the other one is hazel. Todyay, three months after getting regular treatment and special care, Cotton looks so much better and he’s fully healed.
