Community Animal Network named a  male tabby kitten that has the look of the popular Main Coon breed, Stevie Wonder, because without a necessary treatment that would correct eyelid agenesis he would become blind.

The Eye Care for Animals in Tustin, Ca. needed Wonder's eyes to mature and it became necessary to wait several months to calendar the procedure. 

Lashes currently rubbing are due to a corneal birth defect. Wonder would experience extreme discomfort and irritation without receiving a a soothing topical eye gel several times a day that help prevent the cornea from scarring. 

Donations covered the cost of Wonder’s treatment that saved his vision. 

Two other cats around the same time had the same genetic in utero defect that were helped with donated dollars.

Six year old Sierra was adopted just before her surgery and her pet-parent reports a remarkable difference even in her personality once relieved of the pain, but unfortunately has loss site in one eye.

A three year old black cat named Jet also had successfully undergone the treatment for eyelid agenesis.
