Kitten born with two noses and two mouths leaves cat rescue 'speechless'. A cat rescue has been left "speechless" after a cat in their care gave birth to a kitten with two noses and two mouths.
Rescue founder Shelley Jones said most Janus kittens are either stillborn or survive only for a short time after birth, so the "little miracle", who has been named Gemini, is being monitored "around the clock".
