GARMISCH-PARTENKIRCHEN, Germany (Reuters) - A four-eared German kitten has 
been given a new home after a German animal shelter was deluged with requests to 
adopt the animal born six months ago with the genetic defect. 
"We wanted to make sure the people were looking for a normal cat and not a 
gag to make an exhibition out of her," Enrico Schlag, a worker at the 
Garmisch-Partenkirchen animal shelter, said on Thursday. 
"We've found a completely normal family for her that has already adopted cats 
from us in the past." 
The shelter in the foothills of the Alps in southern Germany received dozens 
of calls after local media published pictures of Lilly. Reuters, which 
reported the kitten's search for a home on Wednesday, also received numerous offers 
from readers around the world eager to adopt her or make donations to the 
shelter.
