In a perfect world everyone would be more accepting of people with disabilities, however kids and sometimes even adults can be mean and make of fun people who look or act different and are born with birth defects.

This brings us to today’s story featuring a young boy named Madden Humphreys and his mother Christina. Madden has 2 rare genetic disorders the first is called Heterochromia Iridium and he also has a Cleft Lip. Having both of these together is quite rare. Heterochromia Iridum causes a person’s eyes to be two completely different colors! This disorder is super rare but surprisingly also shows up in cats and dogs.

Only one percent of the human population has Heterochromia Iridium so you will rarely ever come across somebody who has it. For the most part although the eyes can long a little strange being such different colors, there usually aren’t any other health problems that are associated with it.

One day, his mom was just browsing the internet when she randomly came across a very special cat! Not only did this cat have Heterochromia Iridium but he also had a Cleft Lip; the exact same two defects her son has!

It seemed as if a miracle was unfolding before her eyes and destiny was bringing these two souls together. But, there was one huge problem that was holding destiny back! The Humphreys lived in Oklahoma, while the special cat was all the way up north in Minnesota. Money was also very tight for the Humphreys and they couldn’t afford a flight to Minnesota and a hotel and everything that comes with traveling.

Luckily, Christina has amazing best friends that she told about her situation. The friends all immediately chipped in to fund Christina for a fun road trip to pick up her son’s new best friend. They quickly hit the road, traveled across many states and finally arrived at the rescue shelter to find this very special and magical kitty.

Madden named his new friend Moon as soon as they arrived. His mother had never seen him this excited or happy before in his entire life. Madden didn’t have many friends and always felt secluded and alone; but now had a new best friend that would never leave his side.
