Story

Toes is a unique and charming orange tabby with extra toes and an extra-special heart. As a true polydactyl (also known as a Hemingway cat) he’s got oversized paws and an endearing, gentle nature to match. Toes was rescued from a large cat colony in Costa Mesa where he learned to be cautious but kind, and now he’s adjusting to indoor life in foster care. He’s still shy and needs time to build trust, but Toes has been making slow, steady progress in his foster home. He especially enjoys the company of other cats and would thrive in a home with a confident, friendly feline companion who can show him the ropes and help him feel safe. While he currently lives with French Fry , a female brown tabby who is another shy cat, we believe Toes would do better when paired with a more outgoing buddy to help bring out his playful, affectionate side. Toes could be adopted with French Fry as long as the adopter knows they will have to work on socializing them daily and being patient, because they will come around with time. Toes is looking for a patient, cat-savvy adopter who understands that the best relationships are built slowly and lovingly. With a gentle hand and a feline friend by his side, Toes is sure to bloom.

Polydactyl/Hemingway

Male, 2 yrs 10 mos

Details

Good with cats, Needs special attention, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

A volunteer was driving in Westminster and came across a cardboard box sitting underneath a parked truck with three kittens inside. A concerned neighbor had been feeding the kittens for a few weeks while trying to find them somewhere to go with no luck. He said the mother cat had been hit by a car a couple weeks earlier, and her kittens were left. All three kittens were out in the freezing, cold rain trying to fend for themselves. Unfortunately, this compassionate neighbor had too many animals to adopt them himself. Poly is a friendly and affectionate cat. He loves people, enjoys pets and cuddles. Poly is also unique in that all four of his paws are polydactyl. This means Poly has six or more toes on each paw, rather than the normal five toes. Cats with polydactyl paws have better balance because they have wider, larger paws allowing them to hunt and climb more efficiently. Another interesting item about polydactyl cats is that they were a favorite of Ernest Hemingway. Mr. Hemingway received a polydactyl feline from a ship’s captain by the name of Snow Ball and subsequently developed a true love for multi-toed cats. His home in Key West, Florida was transformed into a museum after this death and about half of the cats that reside there are polydactyl. FHV-1 is very common, in fact almost all cats are exposed to FHV-1 as kittens, either by their mother or by another cat. Up to 80% of cats develop a hidden (referred to as dormant or latent) infection and become carries of FHV-1 for life. In many cats, this causes no problems. But sometimes feline herpes returns occasionally throughout the cat's life, especially in times of illness or stress. Just as some people get repeated Herpes cold sores, some cats will repeatedly get corneal (eye) ulcers or have chronic (long term) sneezing or nasal congestion. Our vet believes he may grow out of the symptoms especially if he is taken out of the high stress shelter environment. Poly is a special boy that really deserves a home! He’d love it even more if his brother Marco (his snuggle buddy) could come along! Please apply to adopt Poly at www.AALOC.org. Once your application is reviewed and approved we will contact you to make an appointment to visit us at AALOC to meet Poly and get to know him a bit. Adoption donation includes spay/neuter, vaccinations, and a microchip. Applications require a veterinary reference and home visit. We adopt to residents of Orange County, CA and surrounding areas. Please note: For families with children, we require children to be 10 years of age or older, although exceptions are made depending on the circumstances. For more information on our adoption policies visit our website at www.AALOC.org or contact us by e-mail at aaloc@aaloc.org.

Chata

Polydactyl/Hemingway Domestic Shorthair

Female, 1 yr

Los Angeles, CA

Size

(when grown) -

Details

Not good with dogs, Good with cats, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Chata is a slightly timid but very sweet kitty who is looking for a quiet home where she can be the star of your heart. She didn’t get much of a chance to make kitten friends when she was younger, and at this point is reactive to other animals and would need to be a solo pet. She can be cautious at first, but is she’s highly motivated to get hugs, pets and snuggles from her people. She is a dashing little polydactyl with the softest coat, if you’re looking for a special kitty who will blossom into your new best friend, Chata is a deserving choice. Chata likes to play with wand toys, and all types of items she can chase. She loves to sink her teeth into the side of a fresh cardboard box. She would do best with adults only, or older kids who understand basic cat behavior, and definitely someone who wants to shower her with affection. Chata is fully box-trained and is on a variable diet of wet and dry food, preferring to rotate through different flavors and textures.

Richard

Polydactyl/Hemingway

Male, 7 mos

Los Angeles, CA

Size

(when grown) -

Details

Good with cats, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Sleek, shiny, and sporting the cutest polydactyl mittens, Richard is the definition of a curious scamp. He’s first on the scene for every new noise, toy, and adventure, zipping around the house like he owns the place (and honestly, he kind of does). Richard may be mischievous, but he’s also a total sweetheart. He loves shadowing his humans, supervising all activities, and showing off his goofy kitten energy. One minute he’s pouncing; the next he’s purring in your lap. Because he’s bursting with kitten zest, Richard needs another young, active cat in the home to play with, wrestle with, and learn from. He thrives with a buddy who can keep up (and, if you’re looking for two, he especially likes his foster siblings Samuel KRLA-A-86878 and Rosie KRLA-A-86877). If you’re ready for endless entertainment, extra toes, and a whole lot of charm, Richard is your guy. Please contact the foster at kizmetkats@gmail.com

Peanut

Polydactyl/Hemingway Domestic Shorthair

Male, 4 yrs 4 mos

Los Angeles, CA

Size

(when grown) -

Details

Good with cats, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Peanut is a bundle of loving energy. Although he’s 4 years old, he plays like a kitten--blazingly fast at chasing wand toys. With a face that’s part tabby, curly ears, and a smidge of “Grumpy Cat”, his looks are unique! Smart as heck, sweet and friendly, he wants to be with you, and get pets, head and tummy scratches. Kitten Rescue saved Peanut from the LA shelter, where he had become blocked and couldn’t pee (a life-threatening situation). He had surgery to solve this and is fully healed, but his forever home needs to maintain him in a low-stress environment and monitor his bathroom habits to ensure he doesn’t get blocked again. He must be on wet (canned) food suitable for his condition to ensure his ongoing health. For these reasons, as well as his kitten-like qualities that require patience and dedicated time spent playing with him least twice a day, he would be best with experienced cat owners working from home or a family who’s willing to give him the care he needs. In return, Peanut will greet you at the door, follow you around the house, and keep you company while you work. His curly ears and bob tail, as well as his giant feet and polydactyl toes will enchant you; and his easy-going manner and friendliness with everyone make him a crowd-pleaser. Contact the foster at: Jenflorez@kittenrescue.org.
