My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Zucchini Blossom lives up to her big name with her big, bold, blooming personality fit for the very special kitten she is. Zukes is very much a typical kitten - energy for days, loves to play, wrestle, and explore - enjoys her naps - and has a little motorboat purr when you give her scratches in just the right spot. Zucchini would love a home with one of her brothers or any other playful cat willing to make friends.

Zucchini was born with a neurological condition called Cerebellar Hypoplasia aka wobbly-cat syndrome, which means her brain development was affected by her mom coming in contact with a virus while pregnant. Zukes and both of her siblings are all affected to different levels of severity. CH is not contagious, painful, or progressive and causes ataxic or uncoordinated movements. Zucchini can walk and run, even climb and jump a little bit. She will require some extra safeguards at home, specifically for stairs and elevated surfaces. Don't let her needs scare you, reach out and we will be happy to let you see just how functional and amazing she is!
