I'm new and I need help

Hey, I'm new here, and I came here in hopes of finding an answer to the question I have. I'm not a big cat person, I don't know much about them. My brother dropped his cat mittens off here, her name is mittens because she has seven toes! Recently mittens gave birth to 5 wonderful little kittys, all with seven toes! Is this a mutation or a certain bread? Please help. Thankyou

It's a genetic trait.

Just a trait inherited from their Mom. It is very cute, though, isn't it? If you haven't already, you will want to talk to a vet about how to care for Mittens and her kittens. And she will need to be spayed when they get a little older.

There is another forum on kitten care, if you read the info at the top-the "sticky messages" you will learn a lot that will help you care for your new family!

And after spending some time with these cats, you may find you ARE a cat person after all. Either way, anyone who helps a cat in need is a good person, in my book. Welcome!

Hello and welcome!!!!
My Chuckie has extra toes as well! Cats with extra toes are Polydactyls...they're so cute!

Hi welcome the site.

Welcome to TCS! Congratulations on Mittens & her new family! We'd love to see pics. I just adore polydactyls. About 20 years ago, I had several kitties with extra toes; they would use them as thumbs, for climbing & picking up things - it was soooo entertaining to watch them! Please keep us posted! Susan
