Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Well, hello there! My name is Paul, and I'm a sweet and very affectionate orange-tabby-with-white fella who was born in September 2016. Even though I'm your typical fun-loving, playful kitten, I must confess that my favorite thing is snuggling and turning on my purr motor to the highest decibel. I will nap and cuddle with anyone who's willing to hold me. Since I love other cats, if I can't find a human to snuggle with, I'll just curl up with one of my feline foster mates.
Let me tell you why I'm a special needs kitten. I am perfectly healthy except that I suffer from a condition called Cerebellar Hypoplasia. I have a mild/ moderate case which makes me wobbly and clumsy, so I fall down a lot. But I'm like the Unsinkable Molly Brown because I always pick myself up! I really don't realize that there's anything different with me from the other foster house cats. My foster meowmy says that my irrepressible spirit is an inspiration to her during the hard times in her life!
'CH' also causes jerky movements, head tremors (especially when I'm excited playing on my turbo scratcher toy!), and generally uncoordinated motion (high stepping and waddling). Mind you, this doesn't affect my being able to run, jump, pounce, climb stairs, and play or use the litter box. I am very capable as well as capricious and require little extra care.
I mostly just need a SAFE indoor-only home that has plenty of carpet (as opposed to hard floors) for traction to minimize my falling down. My foster mommy doesn't want me to ever hurt myself! The vet assures her that I have a long, happy life ahead of me: even though this condition is permanent, it should not get worse.
So I'm shopping for a kindhearted and compassionate adopter who can look past my slight imperfections and who wants a little tabby boy who's all snuggle and a huge purr machine; however, this adopter also should be mindful of my home environment needs. There's got to be someone who fits the bill out there!
In exchange, I promise to bond closely with that special someone and pour out a lifetime of intense love and gratitude. That seems to be the standard modus operandi for all CH kitties! Heck, what's better for you than a lap kitten whose purring sounds like a perking coffeepot? So don't you want to meet me? I guarantee that you'll fall in love with me!
Paul is updated on shots, neutered, dewormed, microchipped, FIV/ FeLV negative, and ready for his indoor-only home. His adoption fee is $125 for kittens 9 months old and younger, cash or check payable to Buster's Friends. Please click the contact button if you are interested in Paul, and we can let you know exactly where you can meet him.
