A cute cat called Mittens with no ears is looking for a new owner.

A stray puss had to have both lugs removed after severe sun damage.

It left them almost falling off.

The 12-year-old puss was found with painful open wounds.

Vets were forced to carry out surgery to remove his ears, both to ease his discomfort and to stop the risk of skin cancer spreading.

After being given the all-clear, the black-and-white moggy is now being cared for by the RSPCA Suffolk Central branch in Martlesham – and staff say he’s desperate for a new family.

Despite his ordeal, Mittens hasn’t lost his love for humans, as reported by Need To Know.

The affectionate feline spends his days snoozing in sunny spots, lapping up attention and curling up on laps.

Sadly, he can’t live with other pets, but the RSPCA says he’d make the purrfect companion for someone willing to keep an eye on his skin.

An RSPCA spokesperson said: “Upon arrival, it was apparent that Mittens’ pinna’s had been severely damaged, which we suspect to be from sun damage.

“After removing his pinna’s and a few more tests on other parts of his face, Mittens has been given the all clear for now, and is on the look out for his new home.

“Mittens’ hasn’t let any of this dampen his spirit.

“He spends his days relaxing in a warm spot, and loves to receive attention from his human friends, whether it’s lots of head scratches or a lap to curl up and sleep on.

“Although Mitten’s currently doesn’t require any further treatment, he is looking for owners who are able to monitor his skin for any changes.”

Animal lovers have been queueing up online to offer Mittens a forever home.

One man said: “I’ve applied. I hope I get to have him, he is purr=fect and a beautiful fur baby.”

Another added: “Wishing for you to be found by your new and loving forever family really soon, dearest Mittens.”
