My story

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

Hi there! Taus and Gravity are a fully bonded pair of kitties, looking for a forever home together! Taus is a neutered male, short haired gray and white tabby with special needs. Gravity is a spayed female, short haired ticked tabby. Since they were just tiny babies, they have been inseparable. A little more about Taus' special needs: Due to a spinal deformity, he does not have use of his back legs. He still uses them to get around though, so they do not bother him one bit! Just more to love. He is diaper trained and used to taking a bath for those days where he needs more than just a wipe down. He will need diaper changes regularly and will never regain use of his back legs. However, that does not stop him from being on the go around the house! He can climb couches, beds, up and down carpet stairs. He is truly such a joy to be around and make his foster family giggle. His care is simple but needed for the rest of his life. Once you have his morning/ night routine down, it is a piece of cake! Taus will require miralax to help him pass stool easier (usually given by syringe with water). He may also need you from time to time to express his bladder for him as the nerve damage has made its way to his bladder as he ages. His foster mom learned how to help Taus alleviate himself in just one day! More about Taus and Gravity: they are trained to go in their gated area (play pen) at night. They love to share the same dish when it is time to eat. Gravity plays gently with Taus like she understands his limitations. They will seek each other when outside their play pen to play and snuggle. They both get along with other cats, but they must go to a household with NO dogs, please. They are very loving, social beings and would love to be in a home where they can be around the family (have been around children as well). These two are ENDLESS entertainment! Taus comes with: Wheelchair and scooter board, low profile cat tree, diapers/ wipes/ ointment/ et. to start you off, a disabled cat ramp that he sometimes chooses to use to get up and off the couch, and of course... two loving babysitters (their foster mama's) who could be available if needed for any out of town plans you may have in the future. Aside from the above, Taus and Gravity's foster mama's have lots of recommendations to make things easier for not only you and or the family, but for the kitties as well. Though they have been brought into homes with other kitties, they will need time to adjust and learn how to interact with new cats. Introductions with any other pets should follow WBCats instructions and be slow and gradual. Taus and Gravity are up to date on all vaccinations, tested negative for FIV/ FELV. They've had vet exams, been dewormed, microchipped, and neutered/ spayed. Do you have room in your heart and home for the two of us? We have a lot of love to give!November 5, 2024, 5:36 pm
