Life is difficult for deformed kittens and animals in general. Many people are unable to get past the abnormalities, thus they are rarely adopted. But every now and again, a story comes along that offers such cats a happy ending. A kitty with four ears and one eye was discovered stuck beneath a home a few years ago. It was transported to an Australian animal sanctuary after being hauled out, when surgery was conducted to remove the malformed eye.
Vets didn’t think the kitten, dubbed Frankenstein for obvious reasons, would live. Even if it did, adoption was almost unthinkable. They should never have underestimated the power of love, though.
Frankie was taken home by one of the staff members at the Geelong Animal Welfare Society, who gave him all the care he needed to recover. Arthur, his son, became Frankie’s best buddy almost immediately. The youngster was unconcerned by the abnormalities and lavished all of Frankie’s affection. They now spend entire days together, not allowing Frankie’s problems to get in the way.
He is gradually recovering, although there are still some obstacles in his way. Frankie, on the other hand, has found a loving and caring home, and we are confident she will make a full recovery soon.
