All our cats are born and raised here at the museum. They are all decedents of Mr. Hemingway's first polydactyl cat and the polydactyl gene is a recessive gene. With all that being said we keep a select few kittens who are born un-spayed and unneutered to keep the genetic line going. With all our cats having the polydactyl gene we get 50% of the kittens from the new litter will be born with the extra toe. We have a book that tells us who the family lineage of all our cats and our veterinarians help us with the breeding process as well.

Can one adopt any of the kittens?

I was told they allow the young cats to breed to continue the blood line. After that they are neutered.

Females are allowed one litter. I really don't know about the males.

We were told one month ago when we were there that all of the cats except one female and one male are spayed or neutered.
