Batman, a black cat who has four ears, just yesterday found a forever home after spending a month at the Western Pennsylvania Humane Society in Pittsburgh.
The 3-year-old kitty first arrived to the shelter on July 12, when he was surrendered along with several other cats.
“Just when you think you’ve seen it all, a four eared cat comes in the door!” said the humane society’s managing director, Hala Nuemah, in a post on Facebook.
Batman’s unusual ear count is thought to be the result of a recessive gene mutation from his parents, according to Caitlin Lasky, marketing communications manager for the humane society.
The four-eared kitty had not been available for some weeks because he had to receive treatment for an upper respiratory infection, Lasky told ABC News today.
