My story

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

Wobbles is an affectionate girl with a distinctive strut. Shes been diagnosed with cerebellar hypoplasia (CH) which means she has an unusual (and endearing) strut, tips over now and then, and her head can shake a bit especially when she lowers it. But that doesn’t slow this determined girl down one bit! She’s in home foster to help her work on her balance and strengthen her legs. She likely has some vision deficiencies as well. She seems to have a milder case of CH and she navigates well, eats and drinks normally (ok, maybe a liiiiiiitle messy), and uses a low entry litter box like a champ. She wants nothing more than to have a forever family that truly understands and embraces her diagnosis and is committed to keeping her inside and safe. She will reward your patience with the best purrs and will hook you in when she looks up at you. Did we mention she’s absolutely gorgeous?

Summary of Personality: Wobbles is the biggest cuddle bug and thrives on attention. She doesn’t “meow” so much as use her Cardi B tongue trill impersonation. She’s affectionate and playful, with accommodations. She loves to bat around toys in a more confined area and bunny kick snuggies. She may have reduced vision so potential adopters will want to be aware that her visual tracking may be slower and her depth perception may not be as strong. She may also startle more easily. You may need to “baby proof” her area just a bit, such as blocking access to stairs, adding rugs to give her better traction, and ensuring she has soft landing areas for areas she’ll climb. Raised food and water bowls would probably be helpful, too. She doesn’t think her strut is “special”, and walks around with confidence.

Home Life (experience with kids & other pets, etc): Wobbles’ foster family has been fairly protective of her to help her gain confidence, She interacts with the 2 resident cats (“uncles”). She’s fairly submissive with them and will frequently lay down and roll over. She does like to swat at Uncle Benny’s fluff, swishing tail and he’s very patient with her. A new family will want to closely monitor play time with other calm animals to ensure that the play is appropriate for her balance issues. Wobbles would probably do better in a home with older children but she’d likely do well with younger children with appropriate, supervised interactions.

Include any observations: Wobbles uses a low entry litter box with pellet litter. Her new family will want to take time ensure she k
