From his foster "Meet Irving — A Quiet Masterpiece with Extra Toes
There are many examples of beauty in this world—a sunset over the ocean, autumn leaves glowing beneath sunlit skies… and then there is Irving.
Irving is a 1-year-old black and white domestic longhair whose elegance stops people in their tracks. He arrived at a Lucky Cat Spay-Neuter Clinic in a trap, and even then, it was impossible not to notice how truly exquisite he is. As if his striking good looks weren’t enough, Irving is also polydactyl—blessed with extra toes that give him those charming “mitten” paws. Often called Hemingway cats, polydactyls are known for their thumb-like digits, a harmless and endearing genetic trait historically considered good luck, especially along the East Coast. These special paws do require attentive nail care to keep him comfortable and healthy.
Irving’s personality matches his refined appearance. He is quiet, reserved, and a bit shy—but not closed off. With patience and a gentle touch, he leans into soft petting and especially enjoys scratches around his head, neck, and under his chin. When he’s comfortable, he rewards you with deep, rumbling purrs that say more than words ever could.
Irving will do best in a quiet home with experienced cat caretakers who understand the importance of moving slowly, respecting boundaries, and earning trust over time. He is not demanding or flashy—he is a gentle soul who simply wants to be understood and cared for properly.
Irving is a truly lovely creature, inside and out, and he deserves a calm, compassionate home where he can feel safe and cherished. For the right person, Irving will be nothing short of extraordinary. "
