Mittens, a stray cat with both male and female genitalia, is to undergo gender reassignment surgery after being taken in by a caring family.

The Murphy family discovered their new-found pet’s dual-gender after taking it to a local veterinarian for an examination.

Surgery is required for the cat because the dual genitalia are causing bowel and urinary issues.

Colleen Clarke-Murphy, the cat’s new owner, had hoped for Mittens to become female, but vets advised her to assign the cat’s gender as male.

Ms Clarke-Murphy from Newfoundland in Canada told CBC: ‘I’d like for it to be a female, but it really doesn’t matter.
