Winky is a special little dude! He is a master at cuddles and will plop himself down right across his foster mom's lap for pets and love. A virus as a baby gave him an upper respiratory infection that closed his left eye, leaving him with a sweet little wink! He does have frequent sneezes and sometimes needs his nose/eyes wiped clean with a wet cotton ball.
Winky was born with a condition called Cerebellar Hypoplasia that gives him a cute little wobble. This is not a progressive condition and it will not worsen with age. CH is not contagious. Cats with CH can live a long and healthy life. It does make him work harder at getting places and he often tips over. He does not climb very much (except an occasional low couch in pursuit of his foster mom) and avoids stairs.
Winky is an independent guy and is able to use his high sided litter box well with minimal mess. Once in a while, he does tip over in the box and might need a little help cleaning up himself. But he does work hard to get himself and his "deposits" in the litterbox. He has a good appetite and loves his kibble and wet food and fresh, clean water.
Born in a foster home, he was in a litter of five siblings and his sister Sage is his bestie. Ideally they would be adopted together (check out the cute photo in this listing of them cuddling) but he can be adopted by himself if by a family that is home a lot and able to give him lots of attention.
Interested in meeting Winky? All our cats are in foster homes as we do not have a facility where people can come and meet the cats at any time.
