A Wisconsin animal shelter employee is being hailed for using her crocheting skills to help a cat find its forever home.

Back in December, a stray cat named Lady in a Fur Coat was brought into the Dane County Humane Society (DCHS) with chronic ear infections and hematomas. The veterinary team immediately conducted surgery on her ears, but since her condition was too severe, they eventually opted to remove the outer layers of her ears.

Lady made a full recovery from the surgery, but staffers worried that her changed appearance would deter potential adopters.

That’s when DCHS employee Ash Collins decided to craft a set of fuzzy purple crocheted ears for Lady.

After Collins bribed Lady with a number of head rubs and kitty treats, she managed to secure the sweet little bonnet onto Lady’s head—and the results were adorable.

Upon posting photos of Lady and her stylish new ears to social media earlier this month, she was successfully adopted from the shelter.

“Staff and volunteers at Dane County Humane Society consistently go above and beyond for the animals in our care,” Collins told CNN.

“I was more than happy to use my crochet skills to help Lady stand out and get the second chance she deserved, and I’m so honored to be a small part of her happy ending.”
