“Kitler” Kitty Gets The Pass From Prospective Pet Owners

Staff

NOW COMES this heartbreaking tale from the U.K. Telegraph: A kitten up for adoption at the Wood Green animal shelter in Godmanchester keeps getting passed over because she’s marked with a Hitler mustache.

At least that’s the sad yarn being told by shelter staff, which made the damning decision to name the cat “Kitler.”

The black and white feline was found near death by the side of a road and nursed back to health. Now up for adoption, she’s been ignored by “hundreds of people visiting the centre looking for a pet.”

“Kitler is an adorable little girl who will make a wonderful addition to the right family,” spokeswoman Tara Dundon said. “She is really playful and a typical sweet kitten.”

Quick! Someone tell Dundon that this kitten is a victim of a marketing scheme gone bad: Even the photograph shows “Kitler” giving a faux Hitler salute.

Couldn’t they just rename her something blandly conventional like Milly? My guess is the joker who named her just wanted to be part of the meme.
