Evgenii Petrov, a 29-year-old resident of Saint Petersburg, Russia, has given a forever home to two-year-old Scottish Fold cat Joseph. Joseph’s breeder struggled to find someone who would adopt him because of his distinctive yellow and blue eyes, a condition known as heterochromia. When Mr. Petrov saw a photo of Joseph online, he initially couldn’t believe that the cat was real and hadn’t been adopted for five months. However, he quickly arranged to bring Joseph home once he confirmed that the photo was genuine. Despite his unique eye coloration, Joseph is in good health and doesn’t suffer any complications from his condition.
Upon coming across a photo of Joseph on the internet, Mr Petrov expressed his disbelief and stated that he did not think the person in the picture was real.
After almost giving up hope of adopting a cat, he finally found one that stole his heart at first sight. The cat has a rare condition called heterochromia, which is unusual in Scottish Folds. Despite his unique appearance, the cat has no vision problems and seems to be settling into his new home quite contentedly, as shown in photos of him lounging in the sun.
The pictures of the cat lounging in the sun give off the impression that he is quite content in his recently acquired abode.
The Scottish Fold feline breed displays a distinct characteristic of ear-folding due to a unique dominant-gene mutation affecting the cartilage all over their body. These cats are popularly recognized for their gentle nature, high intelligence, adaptability and loving disposition. Upon viewing a photo of Joseph, a social media user commented on his exquisite appearance while another praised his stunning eyes.
