I had no idea cats could get EDS. Toby is adorable! The name of their instagram page is "Tummy and Gummy" How cute!

Poor baby, God bless these wonderful people who made his last few months comfortable and loved!

Aww i wanna give him so many cuddles

So loveable, both kitties. These owners are true Angels along with their furbabies. My Sebastian is a shelter kitty who was left abandoned in an apartment with no food or water. He is such a good boy and the best kitty I have ever owned who too is both a little Angel and devil somedays. With our three furry kids including our Corgi dog Cali, they are playful, loved, and happy. Couldn't ask for better.

Love..love them & they look more like little mythical creatures. There coats look worthy of a movie stars. IJS, could the excess tummy skin be surgically removed allowing for less stress?

I recently adopted two elderly bonded cats for similar reasons. 14 yrs and 9 yrs old. Sadly the 9 yr old was hiding an illness. And died after only two months. But at the shelter she seemed desperate to get out. Smooching everyone. So I gave her some peace and quiet and love for her last few weeks. The 14 year old was hiding cat. Hated the shelter. He has really come out of his shell. And has accepted me. He loves cuddles. - but never ever touch his belly.

I love these kitties.....Thank you for taking them into your forever home.

He looks wise. Can he join my pub quiz team?

oh the cuteness of these 2

awwww hes so saggy lol. It's adorable

Thank you so much for sharing your awesome story and life with this wonderful cat and his buddy. It is such a blessing for this crazy cat lady who also has EDS!

I just want to love them forever and ever.

This loving couple is one of the kind humanity and animals need more. Thank you for taking care.

Does Toby look like Walter Matthau or is it just me? Either way, he's got the cutest smooshy face ever!

It looks like his brother is a Turkish Van, they're the Good Boys of the cat world

Aww, toby looks like a shar pei cat! And Quinton…what a beautiful fluff!

He could be the new Grumpy Cat! Sad Cat, or Wise Cat. What a beautiful story!

What's the big deal? I look like that every morning. FYI the photo of him in the coat made me think that wearing one would hold up the skin on his belly and reduce the discomfort and stress on his body. Sort of like a compression stocking. How could you suggest this to the owners?

That Face! Toby is gorgeous and its wonderful he has been rescued along with his buddy he is equally gorgeous. Hope they both live a long fulfilled life x

ADORABLE!!

I have Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome! I'm bedbound because of it, and have been since I was about 25. It is so so so so so so so painful. It makes me sad that innocent animals have to deal with this much pain. I think the only thing that gets me through life is my family. And it looks like it's the same for Toby. Thank you for giving them such a good home! P.S. I guarantee that he doesn't seem "phased" because he is used to the pain. That's how I (and everyone with EDS) am. The first thousand times you get hit with a baseball bat, you cry. The millionth time, you barely bat an eye. But it still hurts the same amount! It's just something you stop reacting to.

What beautiful cats they are!!

Like many, I didn't know cats could have EDS! I have Marfans and it's not easy. I cannot imagine the difficulty for a kitty - I'd take both, or any of these types of kitties any day.

Aww they are both lovely and good on you for taking them both and giving them a loving home they deserve.

He is so so adorable. God bless you for all you do. You can tell he does not have a clue he has a skin condition, he looks like a very happy playful kitty. This makes my heart smile.:)

These beautiful kitties are blessed to have you.

Despite his health, looks are superficial. Its amazing that he still had his brother as company. Finding a home for both of them is the icing on the cake :)

Love your site. When referring to people who have adopted animals, please use the more current guardian vs. owner. We own property, and sadly animals are considered property in many jurisdictions in the US. Thinking of ourselves as guardians shifts our relationship to them, even if it is subtle. They are not things - they are breathing, sentient beings who need love care and protection, just like children do. The Guardian Campaign was created by In Defense of Animals in California.

очень обожаемый!!!!!

What beautiful kitties! Blessings on their humans for adopting special needs cats - good karma!

Oh I love him. Sweet face

This is so sweet of you two to adopt special needs fur babies. All I could think of with the one that has loose skin is to put on the softest baby tee shirts and belly button bibs that we used in the 50's and 60's on our babies to keep the belly button tight and clean till it got better.

What a sweet Boy

He kind of looks like the Cowardly Lion from Wizard of Oz. Such cute kitties

What lucky kitties and what wonderful people!

Does that mean that wrinkled dog breeds all have Ehlers-Danlos syndrome? All the molossoids?

i wonder if you can put some kind of wrap on him to support his tummy (like a thunder shirt for cats)???

Awesome people save awesome lives...God Bless you for your agape ❤️

Absolutely beautiful, love & beauty comes in many guises, like us humans, it’s not just looks, it’s what is in their hearts that makes us love them, forever & for always.

I adore cats, always have, I love animals in general and I also suffer a mild EDS, so this post couldn't be more heart melting for us at home. He looks so oldish man, he couldn't more adorable!

They make a cat hemp oil good for joints. Worked for mine for a while.

Both are just wonderful!

Maybe he could wear a tee shirt or wrap around his belly...thanks for loving Them!

he DROOP

Kitteh floof!
