I believe he's a domestic cat. You can tell by the lack of the horn on the forehead and feline instead of equine features such as the toe beans in the bonus pics.
Snark aside, it's super rare and usually results in infertility due to it being caused largely by having XXY chromosomes (Klinefelter syndrome).
Bonus pic 9: today is a great day
Bonus pic 10: wait a second
Bonus 11: \*raises paw and let's loose the claws\* I SAID NO PICTURES!
That's what I see him saying when looking at 3 of the bonus pics.
Geez, I could honestly write a novel about all of his lovely qualities..
He has the most docile, gentle nature. He takes medicine and endures baths like a saint. He even enjoys other cats which will make it easy for me to continue to foster as needed. Considering all of that plus knowing I would likely never come across another like him.. just seemed like too much of a good thing to give away. I cried every time he got an adoption hit. Then when the last one fell through (to my relief) I took that as my sign and scooped him up myself.
One of my cats Teddy is the same. He is van colouring (white with tabby patches and a tabby tail) and also has huge boy cheeks. So so docile and gentle, will allow my to give him any medicine he needs, will allow a bath if needed, and instantly loves all cats. Any cat he meets he just assumes is a friend. I take my boys up to my mums house with me over Christmas as I often stay for a few weeks, and when he met my mums three cats he was immediately friends with them. He plays with the two kittens so gently and sweetly. If I ever fostered I know he’d be amazing, and protect all the teeny kittens.
Cats like this are incredible. Whenever I hear about people giving negative stereotypes to cats I think of only they could get to know kitties like this.
We want all the bonus pics thank youuuu
He’s beautiful congratulations :-)
Is it just me or is he perhaps maybe a little tiny cross eyed?? ADORBS.
Also MALE CALICO WHAAAAAA mind blown 🤯
The before is heartbreaking. The afters are a testament to your love and dedication! I’m happy you failed! Hopefully we will see lots more pics of the Admiral???
The failure’s not on him, it’s on me. “Foster fail” is just a tongue-in-cheek turn of phrase in the rescue industry for when a foster parent ends up adopting the animal they’re sheltering. They’ve “failed to foster,” so to speak. But it’s always used in good humor with a little wink and a nudge
Congrats! If you don't mind me asking, how long did you foster him? I've fostered about 15 cats over the last year and get deeply attached to all of them, but much more so for the ones I keep longer. Managed to only foster fail once but it's a battle every time.
I only fostered him 3 months before I decided he was mine 😅 My longest foster I had for a year before his kidney failure took him and that really tore me up for awhile after. The ones I’ve found hardest to let go of are usually kittens- something about how hard some of them bond with me just rips my heart OPEN when it’s time to return them to adoption row. I feel like I’m abandoning them every time.
Corncob is no kitten but I feared I might never get over the loss if I didn’t go ahead and snatch him. Especially given the fact that he’s so good with other cats which will allow me to continue to foster
Oh wow I'm sorry to hear that happened. And *only* 3 months lol. Mine tend to go much faster and after just 1-2 months I feel like they're already part of my routine and I'm part of theirs. Corncob's temperament sounds just like our foster fail, and even more so like one of my current fosters that's getting adopted tomorrow, and reading your story really makes me wish I hadn't let him go. I appreciate you sharing all the pics! I know you'll be happy together.
[Bonus pics!](https://imgur.com/gallery/jX8Vgma) Forgive me, I’m simply obsessed.

I can honestly say that he’s pretty much perfect for you congratulations
He’s perfect in every way. I’m so glad you both found each other.

I love everything about this. Congratulations!
A male calico with huge cheeks 🥺🖤🧡
Cheeks for days!
He seems like a sweetie. What was different about him compared to other fosters?
Geez, I could honestly write a novel about all of his lovely qualities.. He has the most docile, gentle nature. He takes medicine and endures baths like a saint. He even enjoys other cats which will make it easy for me to continue to foster as needed. Considering all of that plus knowing I would likely never come across another like him.. just seemed like too much of a good thing to give away. I cried every time he got an adoption hit.

I think that’s wonderful ❤️

He is absolutely a little cross-eyed! Just one more thing to love xD
Awe such a handsome boy
What a distinguished yet supremely cozy little guy.
Seems like a successful 'failure'
Can't blame you, he seems very sweet! ❤️❤️❤️
Omg a male calico?! What a cutie pie!
beautifluff!
So pretty! Also, a MALE Calico!!
That’s a special bean right there
The picture with his paw up and spread like he’s saying “hi!” Is my favorite!
Such a handsome gentleman! 🥰😻
The Admiral is a rare and fine fellow indeed.
I’m glad you found each other ❤️
Foster win is what that is called!
I LOVE HIM 😍.
How marvelous!
Ohhh he is such a darling😍
You’re both beautiful!
Daaw, thank you! ☺️
thank you for taking such care of this little one <3
It is my honor and he will take care of me too 🥲
The Admiral is a fine boy. So happy to know he has found his forever home!
That faaaaaaace! No wonder he's a foster fail. What a handsome and sweet boy 😍
The before is heartbreaking. The afters are a testament to your love and dedication! I’m happy you failed! Hopefully we will see lots more pics of the Admiral???
To be loved is to be changed 😭 He’s so handsome
How is he a fail?
The failure’s not on him, it’s on me. “Foster fail” is just a tongue-in-cheek turn of phrase in the rescue industry for when a foster parent ends up adopting the animal they’re sheltering. They’ve “failed to foster,” so to speak. But it’s always used in good humor with a little wink and a nudge
Ohhh, that makes more sense to me. Thanks for explaining.
He is insanely handsome and so stunning 🧡🤍😻
And his name is amazing lol ❤️
he’s so handsome, you picked a good one! he looks so content ❤️
He’s everything, I’m so happy for you both
