Moet The Blind Persian Cat Rose From Neglect & Abuse To Becoming A Social Media Sensation

by Elana

Moet,a blind Persian cat lives in Nottingham with human caretaker Emily Shotter where she gets to be her fabulous self as an Instagram sensation. Moet is six years old and this fluffy, sweet cat had a really rough start to life courtesy of poor cat breeding practices and negligence that led her to lose both of her eyes and be permanently blind.

Unregulated cat breeders, backyard cat breeders, owners of "cat mills," are all a serious moral and ethical dilemma in the pet world and the consequences cause damage, pain, and even cost the lives of innocent animals (especially cats and dogs.) Moet, despite her permanent blindness, is blessed to have Emily Shotter and what is truly a good life.

In an interview with Daily Mail, Shotter explained:

"Moet was born to an unregulated breeder and taken to a place called the 'pet shop'"In an interview with Daily Mail, Shotter explained:moetblindcat

Negligence and abuse were a daily facet of life for the cats at 'the pet shop.'

Emily explained:

"The cats there were neglected, Moet was often left without food and water, a dirty cage, no bed to lie on, no toys."Negligence and abuse were a daily facet of life for the cats at 'the pet shop.'moetblindcat

"And so to Tuesday; My tongue must appear; Hey... I can reach My nose from here!"

The consistent negligence had an impact that only worsened over time.

Shotter said:

"Over time she just got sicker and sicker, and eventually she went blind."The consistent negligence had an impact that only worsened over time.moetblindcat

Once blind, Moet's luck finally took a turn for the better.

She was rescued from 'the pet shop,' and brought to an animal rescue charity organization where they treated her forall of her ailments and helped her to a place where she was healthy enough for them to remove her permanently damaged eyes.
