Linus the "Hemingway Cat" Looking for a Family

Linus is a polydactyl, meaning he has extra toes.

Say hello to Linus! 

Linus is a super cute cat with a sweet face that is looking for a home. He is a very special young cat about one year in age and is a polydactyl - he has extra toes! His paws look like adorable little mittens.

Author Ernest Hemingway was one of the more famous lovers of polydactyl cats. Because of his love for these animals, "Hemingway Kitty Cat" or  "Hemingway Cat", is a term which has come to describe polydactyls.
