Black Cat With Fangs Looks Just Like Dracula

— -- This black cat with fangs bears a striking resemblance to the one -- and only -- Dracula.

“He is a dark cat that came to me during dark times. Proof that black cats are GOOD luck!” his owner, Nicole Rienzie, of Long Island, New York, told ABC News.

She rescued the cat, whose real name is Monk, as a malnourished kitten from the side of the road.

“My mother and I were driving home. He darted in front of the car and we nearly hit him,” Rienzie recalled. “We pulled over and there sat a tiny kitten, alone. He was very tiny, very skinny, filthy, flea infested with severe conjunctivitis in both eyes."

“At first I was trying to find him a home. A friend of mine was interested,” she added. “At that time however, I needed rescuing as well. I had lost my father to brain cancer and a close friend in a plane crash. I was grieving heavily and dealing with chronic pain from [a car] accident. I believe he was sent to me. A guardian angel in the form of a vampire kitty.”

As Monk started getting older, Rienzie noticed that his teeth were growing into a long, fang shape.

“Many people have assumed the teeth were photoshopped. They are the real deal however, at 3/4 inch long from the gum line,” she explained. “The vet says he is very healthy and just blessed with the largest canines around. I love them and wouldn't change a thing about him. He's unique. With or without the fangs he's special to me.”

The vampire cat has nearly 25,000 followers on Instagram.
