My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

When you fall, you gotta get back up. And no one knows this better than sweet little Whiskers, who doesn't have the ability to bust out the sleek cat moves like the others. But he won't give up! In fact, this dude is the life of the party, mingling with guests and playing well with other cats. He's got tons of playful energy despite the fact that it can be hard for him to move around. He'd hate to miss out on a belly rub or a chance to play, so he keeps on keepin' on...and that's what makes him so great. Whiskers was born around 7/1/2014

Whiskers has Cerebellar Hypoplasia...which means he's a bit, well, wibbly-wobbley. Basically he has trouble with his balance. He is otherwise a healthy little guy. CH does not get better or worse with age, and most cats usually learn to compensate for it and can lead a very normal life. He needs a foster or forever home with someone who will love and appreciate him for the special little guy he is, and not mind if he occasionally falls down. He loves playing with other cats and kittens and has even befriended small dogs.
