I rescued a feral, where I live is not the greatest place as far as feral cats they just put them down, he was about 5 weeks old when I rescued him, I was never a cat lover but I felt so sorry for him, I heard his brother or sister getting taken by the coyote. After a week or two of keeping him, he started pulling at my heart, he thinks I'm his mother. He's about 4-5 months old now and has driven me almost to insanity. I have to say at times I'd prefer a puppy who poops everywhere.
He is jumping up on everything, I've used the squirt bottle, scold, holler and no luck, he'll just do it again in seconds. He's no longer the nice baby kitten and now a holy terror, yes I now love Marty and he knows it.
The vet says bring a stool sample, I take this clump out of the litter box and they tell me its pee, I kept thinking all this kitten does is poo, silly me
He was born with 8 toes on each paw. Next week he's getting neutered and having those extra toes removed, the vet says they will get stuck on things & have no bones in them.
I don't know if I'll let Marty outside once he's spayed and better, I think I should & maybe he won't be jumping all over the place or maybe he'll calm down once those male parts are removed. I'm leary he'll get hit by a car. When he was about 7-8 weeks old I used to let him come outside when I was in my shed, he always ran back in the shed after exploring about 15 ft away when he heard a noise but I don't know, I think of the feral mother coming back & taking him, ah most likely she's had more kittens somewhere.
I pray to God this cat will calm down.

so good to see you. I rescued 2 feral cats at 4 weeks. Something happened to their mom. One of them was a 6 toed. Just be cautious. My vet did not remove the toe, but his had claw/bones in it. I bought mine a cat tree. they loved to climb it, scratch it, sleep in it. etc. It was their playground. I just lost of them last week at age 14. 
They never went back outside. I was never a cat person either but they stole my heart. They do eventually calm down and get so lazy you wonder what enjoyment they get out of life eating and sleeping. Good luck with him.
LOVE the polydactyls. Love em. Honestly those extra toes don't matter in the least, just extra nails to clip.
I have never heard of a vet removing extra toes.
