Sweet-Faced Kitten Finds Forever Home And Endless Love
Be still our hearts! This sweet-faced kitten is so gosh darn adorable, we're melting right where we stand.
Meet Penelope Fern, a kitten born was a cleft lip who was found outside all alone. She was brought into Meow Village, an all-volunteer feral cat rescue organization located in Aurora, Oregon.
Meow Village told Love Meow, "A TNR (trap-neuter-return) rescuer spotted her while out trapping cats for spay and neuter. It was obvious that the kitten would need extra assessment. A few calls were made and she was in the arms of a Meow Village volunteer within hours."
After a nice, warm bath to get rid of the fleas, the sweet kitten was feeling better and soon dozed off into a peaceful sleep with a belly full of food.
Selina, a volunteer at Meow Village told Love Meow, "This kitten has a loving sweet spirit. She eats and drinks just great, and it took no time for her to learn the litter box."
Next the kitten was taken to see a specialist about her condition and she was diagnosed with hydrocephalus (water on the brain), blindness, and ataxia (a neurological condition). It is likely more of her symptoms will appear as she ages and she will need special care because of it. However, Penelope is just as happy as any other cat and shows zero signs of suffering.
Desirae, a staff member at the veterinary hospital, saw Penelope and fell madly in love with her.

Even though Penelope is mostly blind, that doesn't stop her from running around like a kitten. She can differentiate between light and shadow. "She can kind of see the laser pointer and she loves it!," says Desirae.

She loves to play with her toys, climb up throw pillows and jumping off the couch like superman. Most of all, she loves to cuddle with her dad, "Every time Dad is relaxing on the couch, baby girl is right there with him."
