As Hurricane Irma blew through the Florida Keys over the weekend, some of the archipelago's most beloved residents ran for shelter — on their six-toed feet.

The Ernest Hemingway Home and Museum on Key West is home to a long lineage of six-toed cats, descendants of the esteemed author's own polydactyl cat, Snow White.

These unique felines had many fans and museum employees worried for their safety in the face of the storm.

Godspeed to all in #Irma's path. A special shout-out to the 54 six-toed cats who make their home at the Hemingway Museum#writers #KeyWest http://pic.twitter.com/1yVm6nPxx5
