There is no doubt he is a real head turner, sadly passed over again and again, no one it would seem, wants to take him home!

THERE IS NO DOUBT THAT ALL STRAY AND HOMELESS ANIMALS DESERVE A LOVING HOME, HOWEVER, SOME, UNFORTUNATELY, FIND IT HARDER THAN OTHERS DUE TO THEIR UNUSUAL APPEARANCE.
One such animal, a cat named Eggbert, has been waiting for his own forever home longer than most cats, because he only had one eye and one nostril.

On February 23, the Fairfield Area Humane Society, Lancaster, Ohio, shared details about Eggbert in hopes of finding him a home.

The rescue described Eggbert as a “head-turner,” due to his striking appearance caused by his one-eyed, one nostriled appearance.

“Aside from snoring like a chainsaw, it doesn’t slow him down a bit!” the Fairfield Area Humane Society wrote on Facebook. “He is a total lovebug and gets along well with other cats, dogs, and kids.”

“He loves to give headbutts, have his chin scratched, and follow you around like a baby duck.”

Eggbert, however, doesn’t let his appearance bother him in any way, living life to the full. His previous family did say he appeared to have “occasional seizures.”

While no cause has yet been diagnosed, the Humane Society said anyone interested in adopting Eggbert should be prepared to provide him medical treatments in the future.

While that can be a hard sell — not every potential adopter wants to take in a different-looking cat with potential medical issues — Eggbert’s beautiful smile charmed the internet and his story went viral, being shared over 100 times and picked up by many media outlets.

Read these characteristics which almost all cat lovers have in common:

INTROVERTED AND SENSITIVE
It’s the nature of cats that they are not friends with everybody, and the same trait can be seen in their owners too. Usually, they live alone and are happy with their independent lifestyle. They are introverts but are comfortable hanging around with other people. However, they would need some me-time to relax and recharge.

CAT LOVERS LEAN TO LEFT
It has been observed that people with liberal political leanings prefer cats over dogs. You might be a liberal dog lover or a conservative cat owner; if you’re a liberal, you love cats and vice versa.

CAT OWNERS ARE OPEN-MINDED
Five traits – conscientiousness, neuroticism, extraversion, agreeableness, and openness are often seen in most cat lovers. As compared to dog owners, people who have cats as pets are more open and therefore, have greater artistic creativity.

ATTENTION SEEKERS
Just like their pets, cat lovers seek attention from people around them. They like to be the centre of all conversations. At times, cat owners rely on their pets for emotional support.

THEY RESPECT CATS MORE THAN ANYONE
Cat people respect cats more than humans, in general. The saddest sight for a cat lover is to see the animal on the streets without a home. Cat lovers are often seen making a special effort to rescue or rehabilitate homeless cats.

Despite all the odds against him, it didn’t take long for Eggbert to find a home. In an update from February 26, the FAHS announced that Eggbert had officially been adopted, and shared a photo of the unique cat with his new family

“His new family has another FAHS alumni kitty at home, so we know Eggy is in the best hands,” the shelter wrote.

“He couldn’t have found a better home! He is going to be loved and spoiled rotten. Thank you for choosing adoption again.”
