Meet Baby Ethel, a four-week-old small kitten who is one of The Odd Cat Sanctuary’s newest inhabitants in Salem, Massachusetts. Tara Kay, the founder of The Odd Cat Sanctuary, saw her as a stray kitten walking alone and raced to take her in.
She was born blind and diagnosed with Hydrocephalus, which is basically a buildup of fluid in her brain. Due to her health issues, she needed a very special person to take care of her. Thankfully, a woman named Nicole agreed to foster her until she was ready to find her forever home.
“The first time I met her, she was under a pound. I could hold her in my palms. She was the sweetest thing,” Nicole said.
Nicole was concerned when she brought Ethel home that the blind kitten would struggle to adjust to her new surroundings and navigate. But, miraculously, Ethel is intelligent enough to adjust to her new surroundings. Ethel learnt where the corners were when she was placed in a new location by walking very low to the ground.
This cute little fluff ball is completely unaware that she is not like other kitties. Despite her limitations, she never allows them to prevent her from enjoying her best life. She is, nevertheless, a joyful and energetic kitty. She craves attention and enjoys being the focus of it.
Watch the video below to see how strong and cute Ethel is. Be careful!!! Her cuteness can capture your heart.
