In what is being described as a veterinary first, a homeless kitten was seen making history as it was found to be neither a male nor a female.
At first, sources claim that the vets felt that the adorable little kitty with tabby and white hues was a female. But it was soon determined that it had no organs for reproduction.
The cat has been named Hope and is now turning out to be a mega fascination for cat fanatics who are calling it an absolute miracle.
Hope has recently been admitted to Cats Protection’s rescue center that’s present in Warrington in the United Kingdom. And while vets claim they are very well aware of Hermaphrodite cats that have both male and female sex organs, this one isn’t that either. Therefore, it makes Hope super unique when compared to other similar species in the cat family.
Doctors noticed how the cat had no reproductive organs on the inside or the outside and that was the rarest and most bizarre sighting to witness.
Medical experts who saw the case claim that this unique condition could be referred to as agenesis and that’s the failure of organ development.
Hope is just 15 weeks old in age and has been described as one of the most playful kittens out there today.
The condition itself is so rare that even doctors don’t know what to refer to it. But if they did have to call it something, it would definitely be sexual organ agenesis.
Hope has no home at the moment. Hence, it’s waiting for some kind soul to come forward and provide it shelter and some caring protection in the form of healthy food and water.
