The Life and Death of Stevie, A Blind Cat Who’s Life Is A Lesson For Us All
Stevie was a cat who loved hiking with her dad, Patrick. She was blind, but that didn’t stop her from enjoying nature and exploring new places. She was Patrick’s best friend and his inspiration to keep going in life.
Stevie Becomes a Member of Patrick’s Family
Patrick adopted Stevie from Cork Animal Care Society in Cork City, Ireland. The rescue group was looking for someone who could take care of a blind cat and help her live a happy life. Patrick felt a connection with Stevie and decided to adopt her. He mentioned how Stevie’s true friendship and perseverance positively affected his life.
Stevie’s Training
Patrick trained Stevie to walk on a leash and took her on many adventures. They walked on different trails and terrains, and even climbed Carrauntoohil, Ireland’s highest mountain. They did this to raise money for other animals in need, and they succeeded in raising twice their goal. Patrick and Stevie made a video to celebrate their achievement.
