My story

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

Meet Faith...this sweet lil girl is our special needs kittie...she has severe Cerebellar Hypoplasia, which is a disorder which causes jerky movements, tremors, and generally uncoordinated motion, just like ataxic cerebral palsy in humans. A cat with CH often falls down and has trouble walking or cannot seem to walk at all. CH in cats is non-progressive, meaning it does not get worse with age. Cerebellar Hypoplasia is most commonly caused by the kitten's mother contracting or being vaccinated with the Panleukopenia virus while pregnant. Faith does not know she is any different from any other cat...she cannot walk but she sure can move around...she uses the litterbox on her own but sometimes needs assistant...she will let you know when she needs help or when she is hungry...she can hold herself up to eat on her own...she needs someone that can give her the proper attention she deserves. We are not home for approximately 10 hours everyday so she is left to fend for herself. I would love to find someone that can really truly be there for her. If you can give her the time, devotion and love she deserves please contact me. She is very special to us and it is breaking our heart but we truly want what is best for this lil sweetheart!
