A cat with four ears left behind abandonment.
Although she had fewer opportunities because of her condition, finally the right people appeared to take in Midas. All animals deserve to be loved and protected regardless of their condition, age or appearance.
Unfortunately some do not comply with this premise when adopting a pet. Luckily, Midas came to the right place. She is a cat with two pairs of ears that moved thousands of people after her case spread on social networks.
Midas has two normal ears, like any cat, and next to them she has two other smaller ears that stick out in front. She was born with the rare malformation that could be attributed to the mutation of a recessive gene she inherited from her parents.
The four-month-old kitten was adopted in Turkey by a woman, Canis Dosemeci. She decided to open the doors of her home and her heart to her. After welcoming her into her home, Midas’ owner opened an Instagram account for her where she shares her daily adventures.
The true intention of her owner is to raise awareness about adoption. She hopes that those who want to have a pet will adopt one of the abandoned ones instead of buying. In addition, she insists that no one should discriminate against a homeless animal because of its age, appearance or condition.
Midas shares her home with another cat and two dogs, since their first meeting they have created a beautiful friendship. They also looked for a home for Midas’ siblings. The feline’s second pair of ears does not affect her hearing, which fortunately is normal.
Canis took her to the vet and after medical checks, they confirmed that Midas can hear without any difficulty. It is sad, but many dogs and cats that were born with a special condition, just like Midas, are the ones that remain for a long time in shelters waiting for the opportunity to have a home.
Unfortunately, some of them even have the worst outcome because they cannot find anyone willing to take them in. The truth is that we must learn to love as animals do: unconditionally. Adopting a pet is an act of love in which superficial aspects should not interfere.
