Millions of pets are abandoned every day, but it is also occasionally the beginning of a beautiful story with a happy ending. Such was the case of a very special kitten named Porg. The poor was abandoned in a cardboard box on the porch of a woman in the Chicago suburbs.

When the woman opened the box, she was shocked to see an abandoned kitten inside. The kitten was so dirty and small, weighing over 1 pound. He also had a large wound on his neck and huge, big eyes. She immediately rushed the kitten to her vet’s ER for medical attention and examination.

The kitten was initially quite shy, but in a short time, he became more friendly and playful. The vet, Elise Hall, decided to adopt the little kitten until he was ready to find him a forever home. She named him Porg after a Star Wars character who also has giant eyes.

However, Elise soon noticed that he was not normal- things like grooming or scratching his ears or neck left large marks on the poor kitten’s skin, and after further examination, they found out he suffered from a genetic condition called Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome. That is the reason why Porg often wears clothes. Clothing has played an important role in protecting his skin and making him feel more comfortable.

Porg is an adorable, playful, and funny kitten who has found a great home. He instantly becomes a member of the family, and Elise has no intention to let him go. His big eyes give him a unique look that makes people instantly fall in love with him.
