❤️❤️SPECIAL NEEDS❤️❤️ Meet Flipper 🦭, a unique cat I've had the pleasure of caring for since he was eight weeks old. Despite his age, he still exhibits behaviors that suggest his primary goal in life is to challenge me. Flipper experienced physical trauma either at birth or shortly after, which has resulted in a permanent gait abnormality. Recent X-rays have confirmed that his spinal injury has healed, but his hind legs remain turned outward, causing him to walk with a distinctive seal-like gait. The vet assures me that Flipper is not in any pain and surgery is unnecessary. Fortunately, he has always maintained normal bathroom habits and does not require any special diapering. Flipper is not fond of being held, as it likely makes him feel a loss of control, so I've learned to respect his boundaries. Once a relationship is established, he will permit petting. While he may hiss occasionally when "reached for" due to medical purposes, he does not bite or swat. I've observed him climbing, but he has yet to show interest in cat trees. Flipper requires a patient and understanding adopter who is willing to invest time in building a relationship with him. He appears to be comfortable around other cats and is unlikely to experience difficulties with dogs. He is neutered and vaccinated. He tested negative for feline AIDS and Leukemia. https://bit.ly/fofadoptionapplication
