It was thought the moggy 'just had a rather large nose' before a check-up revealed a couple of conks.
Senior field veterinary officer Fiona Brockbank said finding a pair of proboscises was a "first for us"Staff at Cats Protection's Warrington Adoption Centre had assumed the four-year-old feline "just had a rather large nose" when it was brought in.
However, a check-up found a second schnozz, which the charity said was caused by a congenital abnormality.She said other "congenital malformations", such as a cleft lip and cleft palate, were "not uncommon" and could "either be inherited" or caused by an incident in utero.Centre manager Lindsay Kerr said the cat had been named Nanny McPhee, after the children's book character who has a "famously deformed nose".
"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.
