Story
Hunk is a bit more reserved than his brother, he plays hard to get. But when he comes around he loves pets and booty pats. He can be rather calm but loves to play with his siblings. He came to us from a friend in Marysville that helps people that find cats. She asked for help with these 3 brothers. He is related to Hank and Harry. Hunk is a more silver tabby where Harry is the more brown tabby. His adoption fee is $150. All cats adopted through our rescue are age appropriately vaccinated including rabies & FVRCP/Feline Leukemia vaccines, dewormed & free of fleas, combo tested (negative unless otherwise noted), microchipped and spayed/neutered before adoptions are finalized. If you would like to adopt, please fill out the application through the link or the website at -www.whiskersofohio.org - please note that the "I'm interested" tab on Petfinder does NOT act as an application, this should only be used for specific questions before committing to an adoption. You will receive an email confirmation when your application goes through. We make no breed guarantees, we are a rescue, not a breeder. Please only apply for a specific kitten if you are committed to adopting! Our workers are all volunteers and it takes time to process applications. We are a registered, volunteer run 501c3 non-profit organization. Free transport is regularly available to Wayne/Holmes County areas! We do have the ability to fly a cat or pair of kittens via Southwest's SWATT program to any location served by Southwest Airlines. It isn't free but has been a great way to transport animals in a timely manner.

Adopting a Polydactyl

Frequently asked questions about acquiring an Polydactyl - the pros and cons of adopting versus going through a breeder, and associated costs.

Adopting a polydactyl from a rescue or shelter costs around $75 to $150. Conversely, buying a polydactyl cat from a breeder, especially a breed such as a Maine Coon or Pixiebob, can be prohibitively expensive, somewhere in the $1,000 to $1,500 range.

The easiest way to adopt a Polydactyl would be through a rescue that specializes in Polydactyls. A great place to start is to create a breed search on Adopt a Pet. The search will show you all the available Polydactyls in your area.

Polydactyl fun facts

Fun Facts:

Cats normally have 18 toes (5 on each fore paw and 4 on each hind paw), but Polydactyl cats can have as many as 8 toes on any one paw. Guiness World Record-holding Polydactyl cats had 28 toes!

Polydactylism is a genetically inherited abnormality. No one breed of cat is more or less likely to be polydactyl -- all breeds are susceptible to having the trait for extra paws.

American Polydactyls are also referred to as Hemingway Cats because writer Ernest Hemingway was so fond of them that his home in Key West currently houses around 50 descendants of his polydactyl friends.
