Meet Lemon and Apple Special needs & bonded pair sisters! Our names are lemon and apple and we have epilepsy - the good news is, we are off medications and doing great with no seizures since arriving at our foster home. Hopefully we have grown out of it ?? After getting spayed in summer, we started having seizures when we got let out of our kennel at the shelter to play. We were tiny little kittens, and were so excited to run around - but about 30 minutes after we ran and chased each other very very hard, Lemon collapsed and had her first seizure. Next time we tried to play, it was Apple. It was very scary, but we were in good hands at the shelter and they took such great care of us - they brought us in to see a kitty doctor asap! We’ve had many tests done, all coming back negative or normal. It was weird though, we could sit and hang out all day long in our cage, snuggling eachother, waiting for play time, and not a single seizure. It happened again and again where we would be let out to play, and (as kittens do) play very very hard, and suddenly start to seizure 30 minutes after. It was so confusing, we just wanted to be normal kitties! We started medications, and continued cage rest. A month or two later, our foster mom (who luckily is a vet) took us home to give us a chance. The first night she took us home (with anti-seizure medication ready in case) she just opened the cage and let us run free range!! We had to learn how to use stairs?? We ran and played very hard, and Lemon did have one small seizure after running full speed into a mirror (anticipated lol), but after that we have had no seizure activity since. We are officially weaned off our seizure medication, we have lived normal kitten lives in a foster home for about a month with no seizures, and we are OH SO HOPEFUL we have grown out of our epilepsy ?? Oh, and to our foster mom’s surprise Apple is deaf! Because of their epilepsy, but more so due to Apple being deaf and relying heavily on Lemon day to day, these sisters are a bonded pair! Lemon & Apple love, love, loveeee to snuggle. They are total noodle cats (iykyk), purr very loud at all times, and will keep you warm all hours of the night. They also love chasing their foster siblings and eachother (if you have a pet that doesn’t like to be chased for fun fyiii they are ruthless!). They also hunt toy mice! *note on the Epilepsy: While doing great and off medications for now, they are young and things ca
