The Captivating Story of a Cat with Heterochromatic Eyes: Sapphire and Amber

A gorgeous feline with an unusual feature caught the eye of its new owner. Joseph, a two-year-old Scottish Fold cat, has one blue and one yellow eye. Due to its distinct appearance, the kitten’s breeder had difficulty finding someone to adopt it until Evgenii Petrov, 29, from Saint Petersburg, Russia, stepped in. When Mr Petrov saw a photo of Joseph online, at first, he couldn’t believe his eyes and thought it was too good to be true. Despite almost giving up hope of finding the perfect cat, it was love at first sight for Mr Petrov, and he’s now the proud owner of Joseph.

Despite his unique eye color, Joseph is reportedly in good health and enjoying his new home.
