Often Described As The ‘Unicorn Of Cats,’ This Rare One A Million Kitten Has Made Quite An Impression!

A little kitten named Comet has made quite the impression at a Nevada animal shelter for all the right reasons!

For starters, Comet is super rare, being a one in a million male tortoiseshell cat!

According to The Animal Foundation, a Las Vegas animal shelter. In an Instagram post, the organization said that kittens like Comet are so rare, they’re sometimes called “the unicorn of cats.”

So on Friday, The Animal Foundation let it be known the highly handsome, “super rare,” male tortie, had found his forever home.

Though these cats aren’t a specific breed but are named after their unique coats which combine patches of colors, like red, black, white, and brown. Most tortoiseshell cats are females, with only 1 in 3,000 being born males.

Tortoiseshell cats are predominantly female because two X chromosomes are needed to produce the tortoiseshell pattern, Cat Town said. Because of this genetic anomaly, male tortoiseshell cats are usually also sterile, the organization said. Male tortoiseshell cats are born with an extra X chromosome.

“Comet is certainly one of the most unique cats we have ever seen at The Animal Foundation. So cool!” the rescue Facebook post added.

Kelsey Pizzi, an employee at The Animal Foundation, told McClatchy News that Comet is eight weeks old and arrived at the facility as a stray. He was neutered on June 3 before being taken to his new home the following day.

“Comet, spent about a month in a foster home before he was big enough and old enough to be adopted,” she added.
