30 Cats & Kittens Who Are Earless & One-eared Wonders!

Even though these cats and kittens have had to have one or both of their ears amputated after experiencing a range of different health issues — including frostbite, cancer, and severe infections — they are not only absolutely adorable, they are enjoying full, happy, and fun-filled lives! Hopefully, after seeing these amazing earless and one-eared wonders, you just might be inspired to adopt a perfectly imperfect feline friend like these fantastic cats and kittens!

hey you. yeah, you. look at me. look! are you looking? ok good. so, you see this face? this is a face that loves you. yes, you. whoever you are, looking at this photo of my face right now, i love you. yup! you. whether you’re human or feline, ginger, siamese, black, calico, tortie, tabby, persian, long-haired, smooshy-faced, deaf, blind, limbless, wobbly, poopy, chronically sick, feral, old, young, or healthy as a newborn tuna swimming across the oceans blue, i love you. that’s all. it’s simple, really. AND JUST BECAUSE MY EYES ARE AS CROSSED AS ROMEO AND JULIET’S STARS DOESN’T MEAN I CAN’T SEE YOU AND LOVE YOU. oy, already. now off with you! go forth and know you are loved. MWAH!

Single white male seeks a permanent home. He’s not really the kid type so a quiet home would be best. He also loves movies. #adoptthiscat #adoptme #adoptdontshop #communitycats #trapneuteradopt #bedstuykittycrewtotherescue #brooklyncatsforadoption #nyccatsforadoption #earlesscat #repost #catsforadoption #catsofinstagram #noearcat
