Rescue Cat With Missing Ear Looks Exactly Like a Famous Artist
Every now and then, the universe sprinkles a little extra fairy dust into the atmosphere, gifting all pet-obsessed people (me) with some really special furry companions. Today is that day, and you can thank me later.
Whether you're in the adopt-a-cat mood or not, you might be all the way in once you meet rescue kitty, Vincent Van Gogh. His name, as implied, suits him well since he's missing an ear, and his "pawsonality" only adds to his quirky charm!

As you can see, Vinny is a Lilac Point Siamese, and his missing ear gives him an advantage against all the other adoptable cats because there's no one else like him. As the post jokes, there are a lot of assumptions as to how he ended up with one ear, and they're all pretty creative.
Whether Vinny lost that ear in the war, left it in his other pants, it blew away with the wind, or he gave it up for Lent, he couldn't be any more of a Vincent Van Gogh than the famous artist himself if he tried!

How To Adopt Vincent Van Gogh-or His Friends
With a headline like: "What He Lacks in Ears, He Makes Up for in Being a Really Good Guy," Vinny deserves a loving family who's looking for the total package.
"Blue eyes, one ear, a lil crusty. This guy is a lovely go-with-the-flow cuddle bug who loves this whole cat room thing," a NEKO Cat Cafe profile describes the sweet kitty.
The 1.5-year-old male with off-the-charts charisma is a real catch, despite his lack of ear-ness, and he's located in Seattle. If he's not your jam, take a look at his welcome video along with some other cutie-pies looking for their "furever" homes!

Here's hoping this funny guy gets his happy ending, and maybe he'll remember who he lent his missing ear to!
