Love comes in all shapes and forms.
This time it’s in the form of an eyeless, hairless cat named Jasper.
‘The hairless eyeless wonder’, as his owner Kelli describes him, was born with both his eyes but the poor creature suffered from corneal ulcers and had to have them removed. He lost his first eye in 2013, and the other one five years later.
Luckily, the spooky-looking cat is no longer in pain and is happier than ever. Well, the procedures did result in his unique chilling look, but this gave him thousands of followers on social media.
His loving owner Kelli told BuzzFeed:
“I get art of him all the time, and at least five people have gottean him tattooed on them, and that’s not including me! It’s wild, but so, so appreciated!”
Not only Jasper has over 77k followers on Instagram, but he has more than 50k on TikTok.
This social media fame turns him into a real celebrity. People are obsessed with his unusual looks and the bravery his owner shows by not even thinking about giving up on him.

She hopes people will understand that they need as much love and care as every other kitten out there.
“A blind cat can still live a very fulfilling, happy life. If you’re thinking of adopting a pet, maybe take a look at the less loved: the elderly, the disabled. They may just be the best companion you’ll ever have.”
