A chimera cat is one cat that started out as two. Chimera cats have two sets of DNA because a pair of embryos fused together early in the mother’s womb. So, chimera kittens are born with their own individual DNA, plus the DNA from a second embryo. (Some like to say that a chimera is its own identical twin.)
Apricot (picture) will soon be looking for a forever home! The "very rare" chimera kitten is currently residing in Tennessee with Nashville Cat Rescue, who shared that they would be taking applications from hopeful adoptive kitty parents "in about 6 weeks when she's fixed." Apricot's defining feature that makes it unlikely she'll have a hard time finding a willing owner? The two-toned fur on her adorable face, giving her the appearance of two different kittens merged!
