They are from a Siamese mix momma cat and an all white blue eyed father cat. I read that siamese cats are more likely to have albino babies.
These 2 are pure white, very pink skin, and both have blue eyes but with a pink/red tint.
They are about to turn 3 weeks old on Monday.
One male, one female. The male I am quite sure is blind, but they both might be, and it's too early to tell if either or both are deaf.
I know this is extremely rare, and albinos are considered good luck and all that, but that's unimportant to me basically. I am very concerned here, about their future.
Today I discovered the one blind male has a bit of nose congestion so I started the 2 on clavamox. He also seems a bit dehydrated although I don't know why he would be. They have a very attentive mom. She will use one for a pillow and her arms wrapped around the other...all the time, she is always hugging one of them.
She also hides the one behind her like she knows. Could she know?? Odd. Incredible actually.
I've been cruising through the internet for information and it's pretty sparse. Bits and pieces here and there, but nothing solid like a group who only discusses true albinos, their issues and so on.
Here's pics- I just put ointment in their eyes too so they look kinda wet/funny. You can see in the second pic the pupils don't look quite right. I wasn't able to capture the red glow but it's there.
Anyone out there ever have or know anything about this? Def. a first for me, Over the years I've rescued thousands, and have never had an albino so they must really be rare. I know nothing....
Are they going to have issues? Live a shorter life? I read that somewhere today.
Difficult to train if they are deaf AND blind?
They sure are sweet though
