A cat with 26 toes, named Daniel, has saved a Milwaukee animal shelter from financial ruin. The cat is polydactyl meaning he has more digits than a normal cat. Normal cats have 18 digits and Daniel has 2 extra digits on each foot which gives him a total of 26. Typically, cats with extra digits are unwanted but the Milwaukee Animal Rescue Center found a way to take advantage of the abnormality.
Their plan was to start a fundraising campaign based on $26 donations, $1 per toe. It has been a huge success.
Daniel Has 26 Toes
According to Yahoo! News:
They’ve collected enough so far to secure the financing with about $80,000 raised since Oct. 24, but they hope to raise $120,000 by Dec. 23 so they can become even more financially stable. About $50,000 of the money raised has come from $26 donations.
Daniel will now have no trouble finding a good home and the animal shelter will be able to help rescue hundreds of other animals as well.
