Booboo the cat with opposable thumbs was born to a feral cat who came to a family’s garden one day and decided that’s where they wanted to call home.
“Their Mother hangs around the community. When Hubbie noticed she was getting bigger he started coaxing her to our garden with dry food. There are many stray dogs roaming around and he did not want to see her get hurt. I tried trapping her. No way would she fall for that. So several weeks later she came wandering thru the garden skinny. We did not see the kittens for several weeks. My garden became their play ground and slowly they got used to humans,” said Eileen.
“I caught them and worked to socialize them so they can get adopted. 3 out of the 4 kittens are polydactyl. Boo Boo has a forever home with us now.” He also gained two furry friends, Saba and Sunny. “Saba and Boo Boo run crazy thru the house fighting and causing a mess but its a joy to have them be a part of our life. He picked me, and I am so thrilled,” Eileen wrote.

Booboo has front feet like one of my babies had…2 paws on each front leg. My baby McGraw had an extra toe on each of his back feet too.
Booboo is beautiful and I am very happy he had a wonderful furever home.

Awww! Mittens!
He is a beauty, glad that he has a loving home life!!
thank you for not turning your backs on them
Wow, those are some serious paws! I have polys, but not quite that poly.
It is funny how they choose us! I had the same thing happen. A stray came around for 6 months, disappeared, two weeks later came to my house injured and just laid down and didn’t take a bite to eat. I took him to the vet. After he had healed and I let him out I didn’t know if he would return. He did for about 8 years until he passed away.
So cute! Thank you for caring for them!
great for hitchiking!! what a lovely little baby!
beautiful baby.so thankful you all saved them.

Well that’s it then! We cats are ready for world domination. The lack of opposable thumbs was all that was holing us back!
I was feral too. A story very much like yours. Thank you so much for helping these lovely kitties.
