Hex the kitty was born hexed.

6 Legged Kitten "Hex" Needs Your Help
Hex Was Born With An Extra Set Of Lower Legs
COOPER CITY (CBS4)

Hex the kitty was born hexed.

The adorable 6 week old kitten was born with 6 legs.

Doctors at the Animal Medical Center at Cooper City say Hex was born with and extra set of hind lets, duplication of part of his intestine and two colons; both of which are functional. The vets speculate that Hex possibly had a Siamese twin that never fully developed

The vets say Hex will need surgery to remove the duplicate lower legs and intestinal surgery to remove the part of the colon which is duplicated.

The surgery needed to remove Hex's duplicate hind legs will cost anywhere from $24-hundred to $3-thousand. Hex's family say that amount is going to be difficult for them to manage.

Hex's owners have made arrangements to collect money for Hex's operation and have set up a website where you can find out more. Info can be found at hexfoundation.org
