Meet Elmo (Deaf Kitten)

Elmo was found with his 3 snow white siblings and came into DCH care, very undernourished and flea-bitten. However, this litttle guy meowed loudly for attention as soon as he saw people and surprisingly showed no fear at all.

Elmo's meow was very loud and long and he slept so soundly he didn't stir. It soon became apparent there was something a little different about Elmo... he is deaf!

This beautiful blue eyed boy will need a special Indoor Only Home as he needs to be kept safe. Just because Elmo is deaf, it doesn't stop him from being curious and playful and getting into mischief, like any other kitten! Elmo just needs a safe and caring home, and he will reward you with loads of affection.

Elmo has met other cats and kittens and is very sociable! It may also help having another cat/kitten around him that is not deaf, so that they can communicate and the cat with hearing can teach him routines.

Living with a deaf cat needs a little extra time and patience, so you do need to give some thought to this beforehand. Like all cats though, deaf cats are beautiful, and deserve loving and responsible forever homes.

Elmo (Deaf Kitten) was adopted on 23 March 2019 after 3 months in foster care
