Special Needs Cat Charms His Way Into His 'Purrfect' Forever Home
When special needs cat Eggbert was listed as adoptable by an animal shelter in Ohio, it took only one day for the adorable boy to be snapped up by his new family. It's no surprise to anyone who has the pleasure of knowing Eggbert.
Handsome Eggbert was born with only one eye and one nostril, but his physical "abnormalities" have never stopped him from living his best life!
Not only is Eggbert dashingly handsome, but he is also utterly delightful. In fact, the Fairfield Area Humane Society describes Eggbert as "an absolute angel of a kitty."
"He was born missing an eye and a nostril, but aside from snoring like a chainsaw, it doesn't slow him down one bit!" the group wrote. "He loves to give headbutts, have his chin scratched, and follow you around like a baby duck."
The shelter disclosed that Eggbert had suffered seizures in the past; however, he hadn't had any since being in their care. They also stated they "will work closely with his adopter to continue monitoring him and treating him for epilepsy if needed."
When Holly Starr spotted Eggbert on Facebook, she knew immediately that he was meant to be a part of her family. She also knew that her other cat, Lark, who also has only one eye, would love Eggbert too!

Fairfield was delighted and agreed that the pair would "be great friends." So, Holly called the shelter the next day and arranged a time to meet Eggbert.
Of course, the entire family fell in love with Eggbert right away, and just like that, he found his new home. He and Lark are now best buddies, and Eggbert is enjoying being spoiled by his new humans.
"I've always had a special place in my heart for animals with special needs," Holly said. "I want to make sure they have a loving home where they get all the attention they can handle."
And Fairfield couldn't be happier with the outcome. "We know Eggy is in the best hands," they said.
"He couldn't have found a better home! He is going to be loved and spoiled rotten."
Sadly, many special needs cats are not as lucky as Eggbert and tend to be overlooked as people want to adopt a "normal cat." However, these incredible felines are so full of love and loyalty.
Every animal deserves a loving home, regardless of its situation. Special needs animals may require even more love and attention than the average pet, but the rewards they bring are well worth the extra effort.
So, if you're thinking about adopting a new pet, please consider a special needs animal. You won't regret it!
