Meet Frankie, short for Frankenkitten. As you may have already noticed, Frankie is a little different. He's got four ears and had to have one of his eyes removed. But if you told him he didn’t fit the norm, Frankie probably would not understand you. After he went through everything fate threw at him, the kittie has adapted to living in the world. His foster family is there to help him when he gets a bit overwhelmed.
“He was born under a suburban house to a feral mother,” said Frankie’s owner, Georgi Anderson. “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.”
“The physical aspect of his condition has some impact on his everyday life. The little front ears mildly affect his directional hearing, as they almost act like little earmuffs to his proper ears. He has adjusted well to only having one eye, but I can tell his night vision is not as good as my other cats’. His legs cause him to walk splay-legged but don’t cause pain or affect the way he plays or jumps. His mouth probably is the largest physical factor — he struggles to eat wet food because he can’t get a good grasp on it. He is on a dry food-only diet and has learned to pick kibble with his tongue and bring it into his mouth that way, rather than using his teeth.”
The adorable cat is living proof that the beauty of a pet lies within it. Frankie and his humans are lucky to have each other, and something tells me everything’s going to be just fine.
