The stray stunned staff at Feline Care Cat Rescue, in East Harling, Norfolk, with the "peculiar" birth defect.
"It's obviously a really rare thing as our vet hasn't seen it as well," Ms Farrar, manager of the Feline Care Cat Rescue, told the BBC. "We see plenty of cats with no tails, some tails, only a little bit of tail missing, cats with three legs, one eye, cats with all kinds of disabilities, but this is something quite special."

Brian, thought to be between 4 and 8 years old, almost got a much different name due to his ear...
"We have had suggestions of Captain Kirk or Spock because he’s got a left ear, right ear and a final front ear," they said via Love Meow. "We think we’ll stick with Brian."
If Brian's human parents don't come to claim him, he'll be put up for adoption. With all the support for Captain Kirk - er, I mean... Brian, it won't take long for him to find a loving home!
Share this story to help Brian and other shelter cats find a home! :)
