HEIL KITLER !

An abandoned kitten, named Kitler by animal rescue staff because of her uncanny resemblance to the Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler, is being overlooked for adoption on account of her appearance.


The six-week-old kitten, small enough to fit into a cup, bears a striking resemblance to the German Fuhrer due to a bold black marking across her nose.


The little cat found by a member of the public was severely malnourished and clinging to life after being left abandoned by a roadside.

The kitten was taken to the Wood Green animal shelter in Godmanchest, Cambridgeshire, where she was nursed back to health and is now said to be full of life.

Staff at the centre say she is still in need of a new home and they feel she is being overlooked because of her appearance.

‘We re-home five and a half thousand animals every year but we cannot find a loving owner for Kitler. We think her unusual markings are putting people off,’ said the centre’s spokeswomen Tara Dundon in the Telegraph.

Ms Dundon added: ‘Kitler is an adorable little girl who will make a wonderful addition to the right family. She is really playful and a typical sweet kitten.’

The centre hopes that people will be able to look past the Hilter resemblance to give Kitler a new home.

UPDATE: Kitler finds a new home!

'We have been absolutely amazed at the response we’ve had - over 500 telephone calls and emails from all over the world,' the charity announced on its website, where staff also revealed the mustachioed mite 'prefers to be known' as Luminus.

'We are delighted to say that we have now found a wonderful, loving home for Luminus and we hope this will be the start of a long and happy life for her, now that she has a second chance.'
