The heartwarming story of Vinny, the one-eared cat who found a loving home! 🐾❤️

When Liz, Colin’s wife, met Vinny — a small black kitten — at the animal clinic where she works, it was love at first sight. This sweet little guy had survived a brutal attack while living on the streets. Colin shares: “Vinny was found as a 2- to 3-week-old kitten by the son of a local animal shelter’s chairman. He walked right up to the man and started purring immediately.”

Although Vinny was scratched up, he had several wounds on his face and head, and his right ear was severely damaged. Thankfully, the man who found him brought him directly to a nearby shelter, where he received the medical attention he needed.

“He had to undergo two surgeries: the first was to remove his ear and ear canal up to the skull due to an infection, and the second was to treat additional infections,” Colin says.

After recovering, Vinny was placed in a loving foster home. But when his foster mom became overwhelmed, Liz offered to care for him while she was also bottle-feeding other kittens. “In October, Liz brought Vinny home and planned to care for him until he was ready for adoption,” explains Colin.
