A cat with an unusual deformity was rescued off the streets of San Francisco and now has a loving home.

He’s also on his way to becoming an Internet cat star.

The beginning of the cat's life was not smooth sailing.

The San Francisco SPCA named the kitten Lobstah. Unfortunately, Lobstah had more than just a deformed paw that resembles a claw. The cat also had an underdeveloped chest wall, a life-threatening condition.

According to The Dodo, doctors were able to construct a chest wall for Lobstah, who endured the surgery like a champ. Now Lobstah can turn to more fun things, like posing for adorable photos and growing his fan base on Instagram.
