Story
Meet Fancy! This sassy little lady was born with Cerebellar Hypoplasia, also known as "Wobbly Kitten Syndrome." Cerebellar Hypoplasia is the failure of the cerebellum, which controls coordinated movement, to develop properly, and causes affected animals to "wobble" and occasionally tip over and fall when they move. Despite having some extra pep in her step, Fancy is in no pain and lives a wonderful life of playing, cuddling, and chasing her feline foster siblings. While animals with cerebellar hypoplasia can still live long, happy lives, they do need some extra care and support from their human companions, which vary on a case-by-case basis depending on the individual animal's needs and severity. For Fancy, this looks like some extra cleaning when she doesn't make it to the litterbox on time, helping her keep her sanitary area tidy, and helping manage her environment to maximize her safety. While she is largely litterbox trained in the sense of making a conscious effort to use the litterbox, Fancy frequently has accidents when she can't find the box and/or does not make it on time, and she needs a litterbox with a low entry and high walls to help her balance while doing her business. Additionally, Fancy has some food sensitivities, but is doing very well on Royal Canin's Gastrointestinal Diet food, and we recommend she stays on this as her primary food. She benefits from a raised food and water dish to help her keep her balance while eating. Fancy’s ideal home would have another playful feline companion and minimal stairs to help keep her safe. The Brave team is happy to be a resource and support while Fancy and her forever family get to know each other and adjust to life together.

We believe this kitten/cat was born around 12/29/2023. It is fostered in a private home in Lincoln. The adoption fee is $150 (or $250 for two) which covers age appropriate vaccines and dewormings, a microchip, FIV/FeLV testing, and a spay/neuter. The adoption fee helps cover the cost of these vetting procedures. If you’re interested in adopting this kitten/cat, please submit an inquiry or email BraveAnimalRescue@gmail.com to ask about our adoption process (please check your spam or junk email if you do not hear back from us within a few business days). We are 100% volunteer staffed and will respond to your email as soon as possible. After you have submitted an application and been approved, we will set up a meet and greet between you and the kitten/cat. Meet and greets are held virtually via Zoom and we offer a trial period to ensure your cat/kitten is a match. Please be sure to follow us on Facebook and Instagram to learn more about Brave Animal Rescue and our mission.
