My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:
It's been a long time since we have met a kitten as confident and adventurous as Gourdy! He walks into any situation with 4 paws forward, ready to take on the world. Gourdy is full of energy, sees furniture as his personal parkour gym, and can turn anything into a toy. But don't worry! Once he's done adventuring, he can't wait to get into your arms for a good long snuggle or sit on your shoulder like a parrot to accompany you on your day to day tasks. This kitten is no wallflower - he will come into your home like he owns it, and make the world his playground!
Gourdy was born with a neurological condition called Cerebellar Hypoplasia aka wobbly-cat syndrome, which means his brain development was affected by his mom coming in contact with a virus while pregnant. Gourdy and both of his siblings are all affected to different levels of severity. CH is not contagious, painful, or progressive and causes ataxic or uncoordinated movements. Gourdys case is incredibly mild - so mild if he didn't have both siblings affected, we may have never known and just assumed he was a bit uncoordinated. He has no limitations and needs no extra care.
