A purr-fect superhero! Badly burned kitten is named Hugh Jackman after his remarkable recovery is likened to Wolverine

A kitten who nearly burned to death had a quick and impressive recovery that left his caretakers appealing to Marvel for his latest name.

Gene, who was found stray or abandoned with burns and four missing teeth in Brooklyn on March 10, was renamed Hugh Jackman.

The actor is iconic for his role as Wolverine, who he has portrayed nine times since the 2001. Jackman portrayed the character for the final time in the film ‘Logan,’ which debuted a week before the cat was found.

A kitten was renamed Hugh Jackman, famous for among other things portraying Wolverine in the X-Men films, after recovering well from burns

The cat was found in Brooklyn burned and with missing teeth. Doctors thought he may have been put in a clothes dryer

Treating veterinarian Doctor Tara Bellis told the New York Daily News: ‘You could call him a superhero cat.’

Doctors originally thought the super-feline was thrown in a clothes dryer but later threw doubt on this claim.

Bellis said: ‘He required very strong antibiotics. He was critically sick for a number of days.’

But Hugh has no long-term health problems and is expected to make a full recovery.

He was treated by Animal Care Centers of NYC and BluePearl Veterinary Partners. 

The cat, who is estimated to be less than half a year old, will likely go up for adoption once he is feeling better.

Bellis said that he enjoys grooming himself and being pet.

Donations to help the cat can be made at nycacc.org/donate.htm.

On March 31, it was revealed that the human Hugh Jackman would star in The Greatest Showman, a biographical musical drama detailing the life of P.T. Barnum, the founder of what would become the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus.

Looking dapper in a slim-fitting grey suit, the hunk broke the news at CinemaCon in Las Vegas, as he spoke on stage with a variety of A-list stars in attendance. 

The film is due to be released on Christmas Day this year.
