An unusual cat is helping a Wisconsin animal rescue center raise money to relocate to a new building, BBC reported.

The orange-and-white tabby, named Daniel, has two extra toes on each paw as a result of a mutation called polydactylism. He has a total of 26.

Milwaukee Animal Rescue Center asked for small donations of $26, one dollar for each toe.

Out of a total $86,000 raised so far, $50,000 has come from small donations.

The shelter, which takes in animals that might otherwise be euthanized, now says it has the financing to enable a permanent relocation.(点击英国广播公司网站查看原文)

多趾猫助建动物救护站

       据英国广播公司报道,一只特殊的猫正帮助美国威斯康星州某动物救援中心筹措资金,重迁新址。

       这只橙白相间的猫名叫丹尼尔,由于多趾畸形变异,每只爪子上多了两根脚趾,共有26根脚趾。

       密尔沃基动物救援中心呼吁民众每次捐款26美金,数量虽少,但意为一美元救一根脚趾。

       现已募集的86000美金中,这种少量捐款占5万美金。

       这家救护站收容那些原本要实施安乐死的动物,并于日前表示,资金已到位,可以重新建立一处永久性场所。
