This adorable rescue cat with ‘rare’ two noses is looking for a new home

Nanny McPhee, who’s four years old, was given to the Cats Protection Adoption Centre in Warrington, Cheshire.

At first, staff thought she just had a very large nose, but vets found that she actually has two separate ones.

Thankfully, Nanny’s health has suffered no ill effects from the ‘one-of-a-kind’ condition, which it’s thought was caused by a congenital abnormality.

Field veterinary officer Fiona Brockbank said: ‘This is a real rarity and, thankfully, it isn’t causing her any problems at all.

‘A cat with two noses is a first for us in the field vet team.

‘Other congenital malformations within that area of a cat such as a cleft lip and cleft palate are not uncommon and can either be inherited or due to incident whilst developing in the uterus.

‘Like all of our cats, Nanny McPhee will be neutered before rehoming, so any concerns about inherited problems are resolved as she won’t have kittens.’

Manager Lindsay Kerr thinks Nanny will be popular with hopeful adopters thanks to her unique nose situation and sweet personality.

She said: ‘We have all fallen in love with our one-of-a-kind Nanny McPhee. We can’t stop looking at her two noses.

‘She has proven to be a gentle lady who adores a fuss and a cuddle, and we are hopeful her new-found fame will mean she will have no shortage of potential adopters.

‘She really does deserve a home where she can settle down and become the centre of a loving family.’
