Kitler, the kitten who looks like Hitler, finds a new home

Kitler, the little kitten who had trouble being adopted because of her resemblance to a certain Nazi dictator (Adolf Hitler, in case you didn't guess), has found a home with some loved-up new owners, we are delighted to report.

Cutie kitty: Kitler, aka Luminus, had cat lovers around the world clambering to adopt her

Staff at Wood Green Animal Shelter in Godmanchester, Cambridgeshire, say they were inundated with messages from people keen rehome the abandoned feline after her picture appeared across a variety of media last week.

Nicknamed Kitler on account of her distinctive, Hitler-like markings, the six-week-old moggy - small enough to fit inside a cup - had been found at a roadside in Bedfordshire last month.

'We have been absolutely amazed at the response we’ve had - over 500 telephone calls and emails from all over the world,' the charity announced on its website, where staff also revealed the mustachioed mite 'prefers to be known' as Luminus.

'We are delighted to say that we have now found a wonderful, loving home for Luminus and we hope this will be the start of a long and happy life for her, now that she has a second chance.'

The post continued: 'We still have many other cats looking for loving homes and find that the black and white cats are often the last to be picked as people prefer the more colourful pets.'
