They're hard to find, so best of luck to ya!rack'm said:
My gf got lucky and found one in an animal shelter, but it only had 3 feet. (One leg was born with a stump). I've never seen such a sweet-tempered, social cat. Unfortunately, it couldn't be litter trained and had to be made an outdoor cat.
In Indianapolis, they'll set you back about $250 each. Mindboggling to me when you think about how many kittens are in animal shelters just waiting to be adopted for next to nothing.

Yep.. couldn't believe someone dumped it at a shelter just because it was missing a paw.cattitude said:
Guess they couldn't sell it.
The bad thing is... we were never able to get it litter trained. We tried for MONTHS, but it would only use the litter box if it the box was in the crate with it at night. We think the litter hurt his paw, but we tried newspaper, different types of litter, sawdust, everything. But he wouldn't take to it.
So we had to give him to her parents, and they let it run outdoors.
It's not safe for him considering he can't move fast or defend himself as well, but he seems to do ok there.
My gf loves to adopt animals with stories. It's hard to keep her in check. Her other cat was found in a car engine after a cross-country trip, badly burned and missing a few whiskers. Yet another very sweet-tempered cat. She actually wanted me to track down that cat that got trapped on the Pax River bridge and adopt it.

Let me be more specific...poor cat for being left outside all the time.

My stepmother just adopted a little seal-point kitten. He is gorgeous. Except, he has a neurological disorder and bob's his head all the time. He walks like he's walking though something sticky and he can't jump up and down off of things like other cats. He kinda just scales up stuff with his claws and falls off when he wants down. It isn't a cureable condition, but it isn't life threatening either. He is an absolute sweatheart. He loves to be held and cuddled. She got him from a vet office she works at. Some lady just walked in and dumped him saying "I don't want this one, somethings wrong with it." Apparently the woman breeds them and dumps the "unwanted" cats at vet offices and shelters all over town. She named him "Bob" and he's the best cat ever.
