Meet Arnold
Arnold is a sweet, playful kitten with a loving heart — and a charming little wobble that makes him extra special. Born with cerebellar hypoplasia (commonly known as “wobbly leg syndrome”), Arnold moves with an adorable lack of coordination: a gentle sway, unsteady steps, and the occasional tumble. But don’t let that fool you — this brave boy is full of spirit, love, and curiosity.
Arnold came to us from a high-kill shelter, where his condition made his future uncertain. Thankfully, Pet Rescue By Judy stepped in to give him a second chance at life and love — and he’s made it clear that he’s ready to find his forever home.
What Is Wobbly Leg Syndrome?
Cerebellar hypoplasia is a congenital (non-progressive) neurological condition caused by an underdeveloped cerebellum — the part of the brain that controls balance and coordination. Kittens like Arnold show symptoms early, often when they begin walking. The good news? It doesn’t get worse, it’s not painful, and it doesn’t affect his life expectancy — just the way he moves.
Arnold’s Personality
Special Care (But Nothing Scary!)
Arnold doesn’t need any medical treatment for his condition, just a safe and supportive environment. Some helpful accommodations include:
A Special Cat for a Special Family
Arnold is more than just a kitten with a wobbly walk — he’s a symbol of resilience, hope, and the power of second chances. He’s looking for a forever home where he’ll be treasured for exactly who he is.
