Adopting a cat is always great. But adopting a cat with special needs is a grand deed of kindness. And adopting a cat with special needs who was abandoned for having them is an awesome act of a pure heart.

We honestly think anyone who has ever adopted a cat in need of a home is a great person. A person who is capable of showing big empathy for a tiny creature in their hour of need. That's probably why these people are chosen by the meowsterious Cat Distribution System to be the perfect match for these cats. It's like the CDS works closely with the Karma office - if you're a good person, good things will happen to you. And if a cat just so happens to cross your path, that's a good thing. Because cats are always a good thing.

Some cats come with more than the simple demand for a permanent home, which they all deserve regardless. Some cats come with a special need, and it can make the situation much more complicated than the regular adoption process. Each cat adoption process has its own difficulties, but when your cat is a special needs one, it takes great courage and a big heart to take the cat in. But luckily for these cats, the CDS knows to make a good match. Even if the kitten is deaf, like this one below here.

First of all, it's hard to ignore how absolutely cute this cloudy floof is. He's such a handsome young cat, and by this picture - we suspect that he knows it. He doesn't need to hear it, to be told it, he knows it without hearing a thing in his life. But even if his hearing situation stays as it is, we know this kitten found his forever home - so regardless of his ears hearing or not, he's in good hands.

It's always the case with long-haired cats that are actually the of the pure breed of a trash finding. Some cats are just pretty like that, and that's just the meowgical mix of cat genetics that plays a part in their beautiful fur composition. Cats might be found in the most ridiculous of places - the trash, a back alley, a ditch - but it indicated nothing about their appearance. Not just purebred cats are beautiful, all cats are.
