This 7-Year-Old Boy Found a Kindred Spirit in This Cat That Has the Same Rare Conditions That He Has
Some kids get singled out for being different, and 7-year-old Madden has had to deal with that in a way most children never do. He was born with a cleft lip and heterochromia iridium, a rare eye condition that makes his look even more unique.
That same combination showed up in an unexpected place, in a rescue cat named Moon. Once Madden’s family saw the resemblance, they knew this was more than a coincidence, and the bond between the boy and the kitten quickly became the sweetest part of the story.
Now Moon and Madden are inseparable, and their connection is getting a lot of attention for all the right reasons. Read on.
