Jasmine’s Plans Fell Through: One-Eyed Kitten Seeks Loving Home

Jasmine, a small kitten with a grey and white coat, has captured the hearts of many on Imgur. The adorable feline, who is missing one eye, can be seen in an endearing image facing the camera, her large ears and wide, attentive eyes making her look even more charming. Jasmine's injury, which appears to have healed well, hasn't dampened her spirit as she sits comfortably, possibly on a lap covered in red pants, with a blurred television screen in the background.

Jasmine’s plans fell through when potential adopters decided they couldn't wait a week for her to be ready. This decision has sparked a flurry of comments from the Imgur community. One user expressed frustration, saying, "Man that's a b*****, they couldn't just wait a week? People are so weird sometimes." Another user echoed this sentiment, questioning the character of the potential adopters, "What kind of self-centered c***s can't wait a week. Makes me question how well they'll treat the other cats."

The image and the situation have resonated with many, including a commenter from Huntsville, Alabama, who offered a new home for Jasmine, stating, "Op, I just DMed you! My hubby and I live in Huntsville!! We have plenty of space for a new family member." Another user from Canada wished they could take Jasmine, despite already having two cats, showing the widespread affection for this little kitten.

A user from Minneapolis humorously wished for geographical proximity to Huntsville, saying, "Can Huntsville, Alabama be close to Minneapolis somehow? 'Cause I want the baby." The affectionate and supportive comments continued, with one user noting, "My wife notes that we have 5, and we would still take her. She would fit right in with the blind one, the one with no eyelashes, the one with only one ear, the one that had ringworm, and the chubby one. My MIL calls us the Home for Special Needs Kitties."

Despite the setback, Jasmine has not been without support. Numerous users have expressed their belief that Jasmine deserves better and encouraged the original poster (OP) to find her a loving home. One commenter poignantly stated, "Their loss. Jaz deserve better."

While some users have voiced their frustrations with the potential adopters, others have extended their support and understanding towards the OP. One comment highlighted the pressure the OP might be feeling, saying, "I’m guessing that I’m not alone in thinking it could be a sign that Jasmine has already found her place. Whilst I realize that all this talk about you being the one that finally adopts Jasmine puts pressure on you which you don’t need, I’m thinking you may be doing some serious soul searching. You must do what’s best for you and not what fellow Imgurians are thinking might happen."

Jasmine's story has also sparked discussions about fostering and adopting special needs animals. A user shared their experience, "I hate when people try to guilt fosters into adopting. I'm on foster 333 and the only reason I've saved so many lives is because I didn't stand in the way of them going to a loving home."

Jasmine's journey is a soul-stirring reminder of the love and support that animals with special needs can receive from a compassionate community. As one commenter put it simply, "I love you Jasmine!"

Jasmine’s plans may have fallen through, but the overwhelming support from the Imgur community ensures that she will find a loving home where she can thrive and be cherished.
