I adopted a kitten from a farm about 2 months ago. He's around 4 months old as of now, very big cat for his age, huge paws! I just came to notice that he has three toes on his front paws! They're are four, but the third one is so tiny and doesn't have a claw to it, both paws are identical, including of which he has thumb feet. Except his left paw has a claw that will not retract, it seems as if some of the paw pad is missing, and there is a small horn. He looks exactly like a maine coon because he's so long haired and his color, but I have seen his mother on the farm, a domestic shorthair calico. The father was unknown. It doesn't seem to be bothering him, but I can't find anything on three toed cats with thumb foot and one horned paw pad.

Strange Kitten, 3 toed?

I used to sit for a Maine Coon and I believe they are known for being Polydactyl but less toes I'm not sure of.
What is your kitties name. Can you post any pictures.

It would be great to see some photos. Polydactyl cats are very common, but having less than the usual number of toes must be extremely rare. I searched for hypodactylic cats on Google, but got nothing.
Perhaps your cat had an accident which left his little toe like that?
