Dmitry lost his sight due to a serious eye infection. Found wandering the streets of Greece, he began a new chapter in his life in London.
Dmitry was found on the street of Athens. His severely infected eyes required major surgery. The cat underwent a double enucleation, leaving him completely blind. The animal was then taken care of by an association based in London.

Although Dmitri is deprived of his two eyes, he remains happy, content and in good health. The cat, who is about 4 years old, loves to safely enter his owner’s small garden. “He behaves like any other cat,” explained his benefactor, “he knows my apartment, jumps on furniture, plays with toys and is very affectionate. […] He is perfect just the way he is. »
But Dmitry not only won Emma’s heart… Since August 2021, the girl has been regularly posting videos of her adored protégé on social networks.
