'Daniel' inspiring $26 donations for new buliding

A cat with 26 toes is inspiring $26 donations to keep a Milwaukee animal shelter from closing.

The Milwaukee Animal Rescue Center was not offered a new lease from the Southridge Mall, and now finds itself in need of some new digs, the Huffington Post reported.

The shelter, which takes in animals from other humane societies and animal control agencies that might otherwise be put down, doesn't get any funding and relies on the community for support.

Shelter officials are getting some much-needed fundraising help in the form of Daniel, a 26-toed feline who calls the shelter home and is inspiring $26 donations to help cover the $40,000 down payment on an alternative building. The money is needed by Nov. 15.

"We knew from the beginning he was a special kitty. Now, he's an inspiring kitty," the shelter's Amy Rowell said.

The polydactyl cat was saved from being put down at another animal shelter.

That makes an average of nearly 7 toes per paw. Sounds about right for a polydactyl. The cutie had thick feet.

I tried to adopt a polydactyl cat once, but got to the shelter too late.

I had the cutest name already picked out: Motows. 'Cause he "got mo' toes"! LOL

I just checked the record for the cat with the most toes. Officially there is one with 27 toes. Unofficially, there is one with 28 but there is an article about Bandit with 29 toes.
