Nebraska Humane Society is sharing a feline's survival story as a warning to pet owners of the dangers of heat.
The humane society says 3-year-old Joey was found in Bellevue and believed to have suffered heat stroke.
He recovered in foster care but is now blind – the cat also has a head tilt and some coordination impairment.
They say Joey is still able to live a full life but will need an owner who can meet his special needs.

Some signs of distress to look out for include panting that lasts more than a few minutes — pacing, increasing heart rate, respiratory distress and lethargy.
