In the Middle Of An Interstate Move He Got A Message Regarding A Very Rare Two-Faced Kitten!

After arriving in his new California home Dr.Tran continued feeding this rare kitten.

Duo had to be tube-fed, and later syringe-fed, because she wouldn’t drink from a bottle. Because she was “snotty and sneezy,” he also had to treat her for a series of respiratory infections.

It became clear quickly that one of Duo’s eyes isn’t viable, and because it’s a source of infection and irritation for her, she will need to have it removed when she’s big enough to undergo eye enucleation surgery. 

Because of Duo’s special needs, it’s taken the fuzzball longer than usual to learn typical kitten behaviors, like how to walk, play, eat, and go to the bathroom without Tran’s assistance (she still won’t use a litter box, so he keeps her in an enclosed area with wee-wee pads). Duo just “didn’t quite developmentally like other kittens her age,” Tran says.

“It was roughly around eight weeks of age, maybe nine weeks, when she started recognizing the other cats, toys, and me,” he explains. “Now she runs [over] when she sees me.”

Duo also recently began eating from a bowl, though she ends up wearing most of her food instead of consuming it. “She gets into conflicts about which mouth gets to eat, because both mouths want to eat,” he says.

Because of her struggles with food, Duo is about half the size of a typical kitten her age, and at a little over three months old, she’s developmentally equivalent to a six-week-old kitten. Tran isn’t sure how big she’ll ultimately grow up to be.

The kitten experienced a health setback last week when she had what appeared to be a seizure. Though she recovered quickly, it remains unclear exactly what the future holds for Duo. But the array of videos Tran posts on Duo’s Facebook page make it abundantly clear that she’s happy. “She plays with toys now, and she likes to follow the other cats. One cat will play with her; the other cats just look at her funny,” he says.

Duo is well taken care of and most important of all loved. She as luck would have it, is with exactly the right person to take care of her very unique needs. When she is old enough Dr. Tran will remove her bothersome eye, and also do x-rays, along with CT scans and MRIs to better inform himself on exactly how she is put together to better take care of her.
