Tommy & Ike are the 2 kittens from their litter that haven't found homes yet. Although all litter had extra toes, Tommy and Ike are the two whose feet look almost normal, with only one small extra toe on each of their front feet.
Tommy is a handsome gray tabby boy, an outgoing boy who starts purring quietly as soon as you look at him and loves to be cuddled.
Ike has a beautiful black coat with stripes you can only see in the sun, also a friendly and cuddly boy but a little shyer with new people.
These 5 kittens were orphaned and taken in locally to be raised until they were old enough to be adopted. All are polydactal, which means they have extra toes. Polydactal cats are traditionally thought to be lucky!!
Hi Laurie,
I have 2 girls and 3 boys.
All of them have extra toes on either the front or back or both. I knew they were special!
I've attached a picture of each along with 2 cute other shots.
Here's the names and info:
(ADOPRED!) Smudge: Female Torti. 5 toes in front (big dewclaw looks like a thumb), 5 each on back feet.
(Adoption Pending) Angie: Female Tabby (tan & black with tortie spots on her back). 5 toes in front (big dewclaw looks like a thumb), 5 each on back feet. Light orange face.
Ike: Male. All black. 5 toes in front,4 each on back feet.
Tommy: Male Tabby (tan & black) 5 toes in front,4 each on back feet.
(Adoption Pending) Spitfire: Male. All black. 6 toes on right front, 5 toes on left front (both look like boxing gloves) and 5 toes each on back feet.
They're all doing well and getting lots of attention and play. They're eating canned kitten food, starting to turn their nose up on the little KMR I'm offering them. Not crazy about water yet but started drinking some more today.
> My boyfriend lives in Nottingham and came home the other night to

> At any rate, I took them home They\'re lapping KMR out of saucers

> the milk now. And they use the litter box. I take them out a few

> in a XL dog crate in my basement with their litter box the rest of
