Kitten found with no sex organs in veterinary first in Tyneside- PublishedA homeless kitten is the first to be seen by vets at an animal charity that is neither male nor female.Hope, a tabby-and-white kitten, was found with no internal or external sex organs after they were examined at a Cats Protection centre in Gateshead.Animal officers said there was no term for the cat's condition because it was so rare but added it had been "exciting to discover Hope's special status".Cats Protection's senior field veterinary officer Fiona Brockbank said it appeared to be a case of agenesis, the failure of an organ to develop, which she and her colleagues had never seen before.Ms Brockbank said: "There's an outside possibility of some ectopic ovarian tissue hiding away internally but we think this is extremely unlikely."
