My rescued kitten has strange paw pads and a cold. Should I see a vet?

Question

I rescued a kitten that has 6 toes on her back feet and only 4 on the front. She doesnt have a due claw. She does have a single claw like thing growing out of her two front pads. She has a cold. Should i be concerned about the pads? Theyre brown in color. Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Longhair | Female | unspayed | 1lb

It does look like the abnormal claw is causing irritation to the pad. I would recommend having Ally examined by a vet to see if the claw should be removed to treat chronic pain or if it simply needs to be trimmed. The vet can also discuss her cold symptoms to determine if it needs treatment or just time.
