Earless Cat Finds New Home After Getting Crocheted Ears

Lady, a stray feline in Wisconsin, made her way to Dane County Humane Society in December. The cat was suffering from a chronic infection on her ears and had hematomas. The team of vets had to conduct an emergency surgery and as a result, she lost both of the outer layers of her ears. It seemed like Lady was having a lot of tough luck but that was until she ended up in the care of an animal shelter employee that was going to change that.

After the Surgery

Luckily, Lady managed to recover fully from the surgery. However, the cat was to remain in the shelter until she found a new home and someone willing to adopt her. Her appearance was what worried the staff at the shelter. A 2015 research of the reasons to re-home a pet found that one of the most important factors are health problems the owners can’t handle. They thought it would be much harder for Lady to find a home.

A New Set of Ears For the Cat

Ash Collins, an employee at the adoption center, decided to help Lady look more stylish and made a purple knitted bonnet for the cat. The crochet skills of the employee came in handy because the new set of “ears” helped Lady find a new family. After her adorable picture, in which she is wearing the purple replacements made it on social media, Lady was soon adopted.

Lady is just one of the million shelter animals that deserve a second chance but many are not given one because of health problems. Perhaps this is what makes staff and volunteers go above and beyond to find a home for the furry companions and show potential pet owners that the shelter animals are still ready to give them love no matter what. One thing is certain: from a stray cat with severe health problems and no home, Lady now has both ears and a family.

Celine Dion

Celine Dion’s house is relatively well-known since it also has its own water park! While her children may be living the ultimate dream, many of her neighbors are unhappy with the amount of water Celine is using to fund her Florida water park. 500,000 gallons of water is used to fill the two pools, two water slides, a river, and water cannons. As for the house, meanwhile, the singer’s home boasts 13 bedrooms and 14 bathrooms, so there is plenty of room for her family to spend their time.

John Legend and Chrissy Teigen

Two years ago, John Legend and his wife, Chrissy Teigen, sold their almost 2,000 square-foot, one-bedroom loft in New York City for $3.9 million. Recently, however, the power couple chose to head back to the same boutique building to purchase the loft-style penthouse for a whopping $9.02 million. The cost was slightly higher than the asking price of $8,995 million, but the couple must have fallen in love with the “vintage meets modern” style apartment. The perfect place for their growing family to spend time when in New York.

The former Wheel of Fortune host once occupied this mansion of dreams with her ex-husband George Pietro until their divorce in 2002.

This two-story mansion has eight bedrooms, 10 bathrooms, a wine cellar, and a mini spa. After renting it out for many years, Pietro put it on the market, and the asking price of $47.5 million makes it one of the most expensive houses on this list!

Lady Gaga

Why resort to being just the most talked-about musician in the world when your house can also be the talk of the town? Lady Gaga doesn’t do things simply, and this was perfectly demonstrated when she spent a whopping $23 million on her 10,000 square foot home in Malibu. Steve Giannetti put a Mediterranean spin on the estate’s design, and that’s not all. Gaga has about six acres of land all to herself, as well as some of the most stunning views of the Pacific Ocean.

Country singer-songwriter Cam (born Camaron Marvels Ochs) rose to fame after writing a smash hit song for Miley Cyrus. After that, she moved to Nashville to try her luck.

Jason Aldean

Jason Aldean definitely appreciates his privacy, so he packed up and headed out to the country, leaving the hustle and bustle of Nashville behind for the peace and quiet of Columbia, Tennessee. Jason must have really liked the property, as he paid $5.35 million for the 120 acre estate. The Flat Creek runs through the property, which is perfect for fishing or chilling out on a hot day. There’s also an infinity pool and a barn with horse stables.

Trace Adkins

You probably heard the frightening story of what happened to Trace Adkin’s Nashville home. Due to faulty electrical wiring, the house caught on fire one day. The story has a happy ending – nobody was hurt, with the exception of one neighbor who got scratched by one of Trace’s dog’s while rescuing the dog from the burning building. The dog survived, and the neighbor was fine. The house was a total loss, but luckily the family owned another home close by.

Trace Adkins

Brad Paisley

Brad Paisley was raised in the West Virginia foothills. You might be surprised to learn that because of his actress wife Kimberly’s work, Brad actually spends the majority of his off time in Los Angeles. However, his heart is never far from Nashville, and this log cabin retreat is Brad’s favorite place on the planet. In an interview, he said, “I’ve always loved log cabins, ever since I was a kid.” Good for Brad for making his childhood dream come true!

Thomas Rhett

Thomas Rhett was born into the spotlight; his father is country music legend Rhett Atkins. However, Thomas intentionally chooses not to use his father’s last name professionally, so that he doesn’t ride on his dad’s coattails.

Rhett said they are planning on expanding their modest house soon.

Thomas Rhett

Dierks Bentley

Dierks Bentley’s modest Nashville home is definitely nice, but not as indulgent as one would expect for a super star of his stature. The property includes a .6 acre lot near Lipscomb University, and has a 4 bedroom, 4 bathroom main residence as its primary attraction. There’s also a perfectly landscaped pool area with a small bungalow, two car garage and outdoor children’s play area. Overall, the house is nice but not excessive, and perfectly fits with Dierks’ personality.

Dierks Bentley

Zac Brown

Country super star Zac Brown of the Zac Brown Band never strayed far from his hometown roots. He was born and raised in the Atlanta, Georgia area, and instead of moving to Nashville’s most affluent suburb, Franklin, like most of his contemporaries, he bought a ranch in Fayetteville, Georgia instead. His huge 150 acre sprawling property, complete with a tennis court, barn, and pool is super impressive, but personally, our favorite feature of the farm is this insane treehouse!

Zac Brown

Chris Young

When Glamour magazine sat down for an interview with Chris Young, the country singer stated that his home, which appears to be rather modest for a country music star of his stature, is “really masculine. It’s all dark cabinets, polished granite floors. It’s just a little condo, but even my desk and my coffee table look like they are made out of an old airplane. It’s just very masculine, top to bottom.” Young also admitted to having “too many guitars. There’s guitars everywhere,” he explained.

Martina McBride

Martina McBride’s home is a classic Southern mansion, built all the way in 1917 and featuring 6 bedrooms and over 13,000 square feet in the main residence alone! But our favorite part of the property is the amazing backyard entertaining area, replete with pool and huge deck, grilling station, and of course, landscaping that includes rocks and water falls, which feed into the pool. In an interview, she said her inspiration came from growing up in Kansas, with no running water around.

Kid Rock

Even though Kid Rock was born and raised in Detroit and frequently works in Nashville, he owns a property in the star-studded area of Jupiter Island, Florida. It’s a secluded area, safe from the paparazzi and surrounded by three sides by water, giving homeowners the feeling of being on their own private island. Even though his house is behind some tall hedges, once you see his personal touch on the garage door, it’s clear that Kid Rock is in the house!

Willie Nelson

Willie Nelson is everyone’s favorite bad boy of country music, so much so that he’s credited with originating the genre “outlaw country.” So it might surprise you to learn that this country boy, born in Texas and raised in Arkansas, actually spends most of the year far away from the Mississippi River – he spends almost all his time on his estate in Maui, Hawaii. The house has a swimming pool and 5 bedrooms with 6 bathrooms and a gourmet kitchen.

Dolly Parton

Just call it “The House That Jolene Built!” The sprawling country estate boasts several luxurious features, including a tennis court, and both an indoor and outdoor swimming pool.
