Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Frannie May, Fancy Frannie, or even Festive Frannie, I sometimes call her. Like most of the kids we get, this special kid was seen as unadoptable by the shelter behavior staff. Not so, if I get my hands on them!
She will need a very special adoption because she was born with an illness called Cerabellar Hypoplasia. We non-vets, refer to them as “shaky cats”. They become infected “in utero”, from an infected mother. It can not be cured, but should have no impact on life expectancy.
Our first two rescue cats are a beautiful pair of Tuxedo sisters. The illness is not unlike Cerebral Palsy. They are very unbalanced and indeed “shaky”. We fell in love with them immediately but feared an adoption would be difficult. We later found out, that anyone who has ever had one, will seek to find another. They are very loving and special girls. Our “Tuxedo Twins”, I call them, Chantilly and Lace ,are actually quite handicapped, at times. Lacey is more sedentary than Tilly.
Frannie is quite active and engaged with every feline, canine, and human in our household. Dave once called Tilly our “Party Cat”. You really have to laugh with them, not at them . Our two shaky cats are very special and loving creatures, but they are handicapped. Frannie is not handicapped, just endearingly different.
Frannie is entirely friendly and playful with everyone in our household. Very much a treasured creature. All people interested will be intensely interviewed. She does deserve a very special home!
