'He was diagnosed with ugly': Feline pawrent rescues malnourished stray cat, but vet convinces her the sweet kitten won't get adopted because of his looks

All cats are beautiful - even the tripods, the pirate cats, the scruffy ones, the long ones, and especially the chonky ones. The kitten in our story below certainly is, even though a "trusted" vet said that he would have difficulty getting adopted because he's not stereotypically beautiful. He was rescued by a local cat pawrent, whose house is already filled with felines and is unable to keep them for themselves. We have a sneaky suspicion this kitty will end up as part of the family in a few days if they can't find a loving home, though.

Sure, he may not be fluffy, but not everyone wants a floofy cat that looks like a cloud. He's purrfect for a family that doesn't like a lot of shedding, and with those awwdorable ears, he will come running every time you call him (especially if you have a treat bag to crinkle). But seriously, we're sure he'll find a family to love him, even if it was maybe staring him in the face from the beginning. 

We don't know about you, but we think the vet's comments were pawsitively uncalled for. Beauty is subjective, and most cat lovers don't care so much about the aesthetics of their cats. It's not like dogs that come with huge varieties of shapes, sizes, and purrsonalities. What matters is that the cat loves you and feels safe around you. It doesn't matter what they look like on the outside, but how they act from the inside. 

Let us know how you feel about this kitty in the comments below!
