Take a Look at This Rescue Kitty with Four Ears and One Eye

Rescuing can be just as challenging as it is rewarding.

That goes double when the animal has a deformity or some other challenge beyond which it could be hard for the average person to see, and when people first discovered Frankenkitten (Frankie for short), they surely must have wondered whether anyone would want him.

With four ears and one eye, it’s hard to blame them for wondering.

But someone did!

“He was born under a suburban house to a feral mother,” his owner, Georgi Anderson, told Bored Panda. “He was found with one living sibling but there may have been more that did not survive. The homeowners took Frankie and his brother in for several weeks to socialize them and fatten them up before bringing them to the shelter for medical care and rehoming.”

Frankie did have two eyes when he arrived, but medical issues meant one had to be removed. He also suffers from joint problems in his hind legs that cause his knees to slide in and out of place.

Without the kindness of the strangers who found him, and then those who provided him medical care to prevent sepsis, Frankie would not have survived.

His adoptive mom says that Frankie’s sweet nature struck her far more than his odd looks.

“I knew he was special in a way I couldn’t quite describe.”

She says he’s recovered well and spends his days sleeping, being “cheeky,” and annoying the dogs in the house.

A cat, pretty much, like any other.

I want to smoosh him.

We Can’t Get Enough of This Adorable, Blind Kitten Name Merlin

I’ve never seen a cat quite like Merlin before – but I must admit, his name is honestly perfect for him. This tiny lil’ fella with the ice-blue eyes is stealing hearts everywhere.

Nathaniel and Elliot Green were just married, but back in 2017 they were a newly minted couple and in the market for a cat they could call theirs. “Free Cat Friday” at the Lynchburg Humane Society seemed like the perfect opportunity to pick one up, and even though Elliot admitted he had gone looking for a Siamese kitty, Merlin fell right into their laps instead.

Merlin is a fairly new and rare breed called a Napoleon, which is a mix of a Munchkin and a Persian cat, though his eyes are his alone – he’s mostly blind, but, according to the Greens, his eyesight doesn’t stop him from being a regular cat most of the time.

They describe Merlin as affectionate and sweet-tempered, a lover of cuddles and scratches on the face.

He loves guests and other animals, though sometimes he gets bullied, especially by other cats.

I mean, they’re probably jealous. Just look at that face!

Their Instagram is dedicated to their ball of fluff, and the gorgeously set and framed photos have earned the Greens – and their Merlin – more than 28k followers.
