Meet Harvey: The Gorgeous ‘Two-headed’ Kitten Looking Like Character In ‘The Batman’

Meet Harvey, a rare kitten born in Arkansas with two heads.

Harvey was noticed by the owner, Ariel Contreras, who had her hands full with a new litter of kittens.

Just like the character in the batman series, the kitten has two distinct faces, hence the name.

There is something quite unusual about Harvey's appearance as he may be what is known as Janus cat, a rare genetic mutation caused by excess protein production while in the womb.

But his condition didn't deter Contreras from accepting the gorgeous kitten into her family.

In fact, she welcomed him with an open arms.

Contreras who is excited about the birth of the rare kitten told KYTV: “I went to go do laundry, I'd seen my cat was like meowing and then all of the sudden babies started coming out and I started hollering for my husband.”

“This is the second one. And so whenever he came out, my husband said, 'honey, he has two heads,' and I went 'no way!”

According to Dr. Tim Addis of Alley Cat Animal Rescue in Arkansas, Harvey “has one of everything except for the skull.”

“Its odds of making it are just as good as its siblings’ if you’re feeding it with a bottle.”

Dr. Addis who has more than 60 years of experience working with animals says he’s never seen a mutation so rare.

“Well, they seem to be operating together, you can feed either mouth, and it takes nourishment through either mouth. It’s really different,” he said.

Janus cats are extremely rare, with only a handful of known cases in the modern era. Typically, the cats have a lower survival rate than normal kittens, but Addis said that Harvey, who was born Wednesday, is showing all the signs of a healthy newborn kitten.

“There was one that made it 12 years, and then one that made it 15 years,” Contreras said. “I'm really praying this one makes it that long, and we will do whatever it takes.”

“It’s actually bigger than the other ones, and it’s doing great. It’s absolutely doing great,” said Contreras.

“Well, the little kitten has the chance,” said Dr. Addis. “What the odds are, I don’t know. They’re hard to raise. But, it will make it if the Lord’s willing.”

So far, Harvey is in good health.

How to Spot a Puppy Mill: The Ultimate Breeder Visit Checklist

An estimated two million dogs live in USDA-licensed breeding facilities. Many exist in conditions of profound neglect like the recently raided Havre de Grace operation where investigators found a mother dog nursing her puppies inches from a dead sibling in ammonia-filled air. Your dream of a healthy puppy is a revenue stream for this industry. After thorough research into documented rescue cases and consultation with veterinary professionals, I've created this forensic checklist to help you distinguish ethical breeders from puppy mills. This isn't just advice, it's a practical guide using your three most reliable diagnostic tools: sight, sound, and smell. 1. The Pre-Visit Interrogation: Demand Proof, Not Promises Scrutiny is your first filter. Ethical breeders expect it. Mills evade it. What to ask before you visit: "Provide the OFA or PennHIP registry numbers for both parents' hip and elbow scores." Why "Healthy parents" is meaningless without pro...

Rabies Still Kills in Nigeria: Why a National Pet Registration System Is Long Overdue

In 2021–2022, Nigeria reported 232 dog bite incidents, of which 53 were confirmed rabies cases, resulting in 17 deaths across 11 states; highlighting a fatality rate of nearly one in three confirmed exposures. Despite this, Nigeria remains largely reactive. Data from 2014–2021 shows 505 confirmed canine rabies cases, 338 animal deaths, and only 3,455 vaccinations administered across 457 outbreaks. This underscores a chronic gap in vaccination response, even when outbreaks occur. Rabies: Preventable, Yet Fatal Rabies is 100% fatal once symptoms appear, but entirely preventable with timely intervention. Post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) can stop the virus if administered promptly. However, the cost is steep: averaging around $108 per treatment globally. In Nigeria, while exact PEP cost data is limited, rabies shots typically run between ₦3,000 and ₦7,500 per dose. Without a way to track pets, it's nearly impossible to target high-risk areas or ensure widespread vaccination coverage...

The Eco-Conscious Pet Owner’s Guide: 10 Ways to Reduce Your Pawprint

We love our pets unconditionally. But the footprint of that love: the land, water, and emissions behind their food is significant, making up 25-30% of the entire animal agriculture impact in the U.S . Understanding this impact allows us to deepen that care, making choices that honor not just their well-being, but the world we all share. Here’s how we can care for them in a way that’s also a gift to the planet. The Measurable Impact: It's More Than Just Food The environmental cost of pet ownership is a function of diet and consumption. The data paints a clear picture: The Protein Problem A 30lb dog’s annual diet can generate approximately 2,500 kg of CO2e , primarily if it's beef-based. The US pet food industry uses an area of land larger than New Mexico for meat production. The Waste Crisis US pets produce 5.1 million tons of feces annually . When disposed of in plastic bags and sent to landfills, this waste generates methane, a potent greenhouse gas. The Plastic Problem Th...
