A mechanic in Mt. Juliet, Tennessee, arrived at his shop one morning, expecting another routine day of work.
But as he approached the entrance, something unusual caught his eye – a worn cardboard box sitting right in front of the door, secured tightly with duct tape.
To his surprise, he wasn’t met with car parts or random tools, but instead, four tiny faces staring up at him – wide-eyed, innocent, and utterly adorable.
Nestled inside the box were four tiny kittens, their tiny bodies huddled together for warmth. Someone had abandoned them, leaving their fate in the hands of a stranger.
But little did they know, they had just found their best chance at a new beginning.
The man immediately rushed to the local rescue organization in Mt. Juliet called True Rescue.
The shelter staff was more than ready to help the adorable siblings, but they realized something unusual upon further inspection.
One of the kittens, an adorable ginger boy left everyone speechless and the reason for that is quite simple.
This little fellow had a genetic mutation, so rare that even the shelter volunteers have never seen it despite spending every day around cats. As they described it in their TikTok post:
“This 8-9 wk. old kitten, who was dumped at a mechanic’s shop duct-taped inside a box with his siblings, gave us quite the surprise today! He has FOUR EARS!”
Yes, you read that right! This adorable ginger feline was born with a rare genetic mutation that gave him purr-fect hearing, LOL!
Jokes aside, this will not cause him any health issues further in life. It’s just an extra pair tucked right inside his ears.
Being so rare, and might I add adorable, the shelter staff wanted to give him a proper name to go with his unique appearance. Many of their followers had some genius ideas, as one comment put it:
“Radar if he’s a super alert and interactive kitty. Clover if he’s more quiet and laid back. I’m betting Radar cuz he’s an orange cat.”
Other followers had more genius ideas on how to name him, making it hard for the shelter staff to choose a proper name. As one follower also commented:
“Dolby as in Dolby surround sound.”
However, one name suggestion stood out to volunteers and they decided to adorably name him Audio! As said on their Facebook page:
“We have named him Audio, and he is 8-9 weeks old, weighing just over 2 pounds. We’ll videotape him soon and share his cuteness with everyone because this baby is simply ear-resistible (sorry, can’t stop)! Welcome to True Rescue, Audio, where love has no boundaries!”
Audio received so much love from the internet community, that the shelter believes they will find him a forever home in no time.
Audio and his siblings will stay at True Rescue until their forever humans show up! Thanks to the kind man who saved them, the adorable little family got a second chance at life!
