MARION (WSIL) A litter of kittens in Marion is giving the name Mittens a whole new meaning.
Finding Forever Animal Rescue has three unique kittens looking for homes. They all have extra toes making their feet look like little mittens. They re called polydactyl cats and their extra toes are passed along through genetics. They can be on the front feet the back feet, a variation of both. Sometimes they can have one extra toe, sometimes they can have two. It kind of varies depending on what their genetics come up with. It s kind of unique to see quite a few of them and it s just fun to see their little mittens. It looks like they have gloves on so it s cool to see, explains Becca Baird, Director of Finding Forever Animal Rescue.
