The fella you’re about to meet might look a little bit scary at first glance, but you can be assured that he’s a lovable guy who is living his best life despite all the adversity that he’s faced.
Jasper is a hairless cat who, sadly, has had to have both of his eyes removed because of corneal ulcers. His look is no doubt unique and I believe he could even be the villain in a horror film, but the good news is that Jasper is pain-free and lives a pampered life that any cat would be envious of.
He has over 92,000 fans on Instagram and it seems like folks just can’t get enough of him. Let’s meet this handsome kitty, shall we?
1. Before and after. Poor little fella.
2. Looking deep into your soul. You have to admit, it IS kind of frightening at first…
3. But he’s a good boy. And he gets a lot of love.
4. Extreme close up. He almost doesn’t look real.
5. Jasper’s annoyed about something. What is it this time?!?!
6. Want a bite to eat? We’ll see about that…

Mama, what do you mean this isn’t MY dinner? ————————————————————————Shop link in the bio! For those who don’t know Jazzy’s story, he was adopted at 2 years old seemingly healthy. After a couple of years he was diagnosed with FHV (feline herpes virus), but at the time all that meant was he was a sniffly boy. Then in November 2013 he got a corneal ulcer in his right eye. It was so bad that removal was the only option. He went on being a happy, healthy, now one eyed kitty. Until September 2018 when he ended up with a corneal ulcer in his remaining eye. Again so bad that removal was the only option. As scary as the news was that Jasper would now be totally blind, he adapted super well. Finally in April 2019 he had a mild stroke. It was a terrifying experience trying to figure out what was going on, why he woke me up spinning in circles, but the diagnoses was a relief. The cause is unknown, which is unfortunately common, but it means it wasn’t caused by any of the awful things that we know can cause one. Since then he’s recovered almost 100%, he walks a bit more cautiously and occasionally is unsure of where is is and will meow for help, but otherwise he’s perfect. He’s a very happy kitty, who is otherwise extremely healthy. He’s 12 years old, but the vet says there’s no reason to think he won’t live another 10 years. #jazzypurr #blindcat #sphynx #sphynxcat #nakedkitty #sphynxlair #catsofinstagram #catstagram #instacat #cat #kitty #animals #sphynxofinstagram #sphynxstagram #thedailynude #sphynxoftheday #hairlesscat #catsdaily #oddkitty #thedodo
