Potato was in terrible condition when he was found, he was suffering from a rare tumour in his ear canals and ear flaps.

Unfortunately, the best way to keep the tumour from recurring was to remove the ear canals and flaps completely.

Thankfully, Potato recovered quite well but was left completely earless.

Regardless of this, he still managed to find a forever home, and a new best friend, Horlick, a fellow feline.

Despite the lack of ears, Potato can still hear without issues.

“Potato was a stray cat, so no one knows when he was born or how old he is,”

They are estimating that he is around 6-years-old, and they have also decided that his adoption date, should be his new birthday.
