Tommy is a sweet, playful, affectionate boy who loves people and other animals. He was rescued off the streets after being dumped at a feral colony. Why was he dumped? Probably because he needed major medical care. You see Tommy was born with a rare congenital defect called Eyelid Agenesis. What that means is his eyelids were not fully formed. He is not able to blink. His eyes are constantly dry. Those tiny hairs around his eyes are constantly rubbing and poking at his corneas. This is a very painful condition causing Tommy to always be squinting. If left untreated, he will be prone to constant infections, damaged corneas and eventually loss of eyesight.

Tommy has been seen by an ophthalmologist who has come up with a solution. He will have a special surgery to reconstruct his eyelids using a skin graft from his lips. This is a delicate (and expensive) procedure.He will have weeks of recovery. But when all is done, Tommy will be free from pain and ready to find a forever home. We need to raise $2700 for his surgery in mid-March.
