An animal shelter has dicovered a cat with five legs and this the second case reported ever. The feline's fifth leg was discovered when it was brought to an animal shelter after the crippled cat was found walking the streets of Rotterdam, Holland.

Carers examined the animal and found that fifth leg was attached in the body and they named the cat as quin. Ineke Jochims of the Foundation Street Cats Rijnmond said: "Only once, in the US, a cat with five legs was spotted before. The small fifth leg does not have a paw but does have a law attached to it.”

Moeliker said: "Most likely it is a Siamese twin, of which its brother or sister stayed very small. In the animal world this happens more often. You see it with pigs, cattle, cows. In India I once saw a cow with an extra leg on its back. A very strange sight."

Ineke added: "The cat is seemingly reasonably healthy, but it walks with a limp.It is clear that Quin has pain. Experts from the University of Utrecht will now look how they can help him. Quin is just half a year old, he cannot stay in pain for the rest of his life. We also do not know how it will develop further. We will for sure try everything to help him."

When Quin walks around, the small fifth leg rests on his tail. The shelter has started a search for the possible owner, but said that if unsuccessful they will find a loving new home for Quin.
