Meet Rutabaga! This handsome 1 year old guy came to Animal Friends from our Humane Investigations Team for having too many cats within the home. Since being here at AF we noticed him wobbling everywhere he walked so after some testing our medical team diagnosed Rutabaga with Myotonia Congenita - which is a hereditary neuromuscular disorder characterized by persistent contraction, particularly during muscle movement. Because of this Rutabaga is looking for a home where they will be able to monitor him and give him the assistance he needs with using a litterbox, eating/drinking, and day to day activities. His diagnosis however has not stopped him from being an absolute sweetheart who loves people and could potentially live with other cats. If you're interested in taking Rutabaga home as a Hospice Adoption, please reach out to us as the Adoption Department to learn what steps to take!
Rutabaga's foster mom says he is an absolute delight, and is a very friendly and playful guy. He is currently living with one of our other wobbly veggie cats, Fennel, and while he does not have to go home with Fennel, they are welcome to be adopted together.
Rutabaga is also one of Yana's Special Felines which means his requested adoption donation has been underwritten and he will be sent home with an individualized starter kit of supplies and other support based on his unique needs.

All of our animals are altered, microchipped and up to date on vaccines before being made available for adoption.
