Continuing from our Blog post from last Thursday (Part 2), this is the final part of our cat adoption series.  There are so many cats at shelters and rescues that need forever homes, so if you are looking to add a feline to your pack, please think about adoption first.  Even if you want a purebred cat, or a certain color cat, adoption is still an option!

Meet Connor!

Connor is a polydactyl cat.  Polydactyl cats can come in any breed.  Commonly known as hyperdactyly, polydactylism is a genetic mutation that causes a cat to have more than the normal number of toes.  In fact, a cat with polydactylism can easily have up to 35 toes!  For the most part, being a polydactyl cat doesn’t affect a cat negatively at all.  In fact, they can sometimes use their extra toes as thumbs, making it easy for them to open latches with one paw!

Connor is a gorgeous orange and white kitten!  He and his siblings were taken off the streets at about eight weeks of age, and they now act like they’ve always been with people.  Connor and two of his siblings have polydactyl traits and are as cute as buttons.  Once you meet Connor, you’ll know he’s an angel in disguise because of his sweet purr and kind soul.
