Story
Chi Chi and Digit are looking for a home TOGETHER! These siblings have moderate CH (Cerebellar Hypoplasia). They came into our care when they were babies, only a month old with their 3 siblings and their mom. They are almost a year old now and ready for a family! These two are FANTASTIC!! They are determined, affectionate and Chi Chi wants to be a lap kitty. Chi Chi will "walk" up to you and meow, asking to be held. She is a playful girl, sweet and funny. Digit is a little more reserved, he likes to hang out in his kitty tunnel, or on something soft. He plays with his sister and they groom one another. Digit likes to observe from his spot. Digit is a little less active than his sister, so they balance each other well. Digit does not have all of his teeth congenitally, so he requires to be fed wet food daily. He will eat hard food but only eats what he has to, so we supplement with wet food to keep his calorie intake where it needs to be. They enjoy a variety of toys and will carry them in their mouths once they catch them and bat them around the room. These cats are resilient and are looking for an amazing family to match how amazing they are! The are classified as "special needs"- they require some extra attention to their environment. Digit may need supervised or "help" eating his wet food just to ensure his sister doesn't eat it all. She eats faster than he does and if she comes over to eat he will let her have it all. They would do best in a single level home without small children. Not that they are bad with young children, however, they have had a quiet home the past year and we think the unpredictable movement of a toddler may not be the best for them. They have done extremely well with kittens that have been introduced into their room. Digit does have some special needs with the litterbox that we can go into more detail with an adopter. All of our animals are rescued and transported from South Mississippi where major animal overpopulation means less homes. We only transport them once adopted, in most instances, we can be available for a video call once an application has been approved.

Story
Trudy is a sweet girl, she enjoys affection and will make a fantastic companion kitty. She is a young adult and is estimated to be a little under 1 1/2 years old. She has had somewhat of a dominant personality with the other adult cats in the community room she stays in. She does better with the kittens, so she would probably be happiest in a home as an only cat where she can be spoiled and receive all of the attention.
