A man who recently lost his eye in a car accident adopted a one-eyed kitten after losing his cat of 20 years, and the pair quickly became best friends.
Several months after 62-year-old Larry Scott’s cat passed away, he and his wife decided to welcome a new furry family member. While visiting a local shelter in September, the couple from Marion, Ohio, spotted a cat with a missing eye and instantly knew they had to adopt him.
“Really, we weren’t looking for a one-eyed cat,” Scott told People. “My wife was just like ‘Look at this, we have to adopt him,’ and I was like ‘Okay.'”
The three-month-old kitten was extremely ill when he arrived at the shelter, and vets had to remove his eye due to a bacterial infection. Despite this setback, he is active and happy.
“He loves toys and plays with them nonstop,” said Scott. “This cat will play all day long. At three, almost four months, he’ll play like there’s no more time to do it.”
Scott has experienced his fair share of struggles. He experienced multiple brain hemorrhages and had to learn how to walk again after a car crash in 2015. He also lost his eye because of that crash.
Both the one-eyed man and one-eyed kitten are doing much better now. While Scott and his wife work on choosing a name for their new adorable kitten, they continue to bond and enjoy their time together.
Adorable cat and adorable story!
Nice story I wish all of you long lives and happiness!!! Thank you for giving this little kitty an good home.
They are perfect for each other. All the best to them.
Beautiful. Reminds me of a dog at the shelter when I used to volunteer there who was missing one leg. He was eventually adopted by a man also with one leg 🙂
ALL THE BEST TO YOU!! Bless You!!
Just don’t.
Isn’t that the truth, when it says “That only the person who has the wound knows how much it hurts? This couple knew the pains & helplessness when it comes to losing your good health. I am happy for the little Kitty as well as the couple who adopted him. ALL THE BEST TO ALL 3 OF YOU…
What a wonderful story. May you live a long, happy life together.
