My story

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

UPDATE
Not sure how or when this happened, but at sometime during my short span of life, I was exposed to the panleukopenia virus and now identified as a Cerebella Hyperplasia (CH) kitty. I knew I was a special kitty before, but now I am really a special needs kitty.

I was fine with my foster for 5 months, but when I checked-into the Pet Adoption Center, and started running around chasing balls, toys and the e-toy that goes around in circles with the other kittens, my head started to bob, my neck started twitching and later my rear legs were not walking right. I was walking with a sway like John Wayne.

I am home with my foster for a bit. The vet said best no running or chasing anything going in circles as it seems this is what exacerbated my symptoms. So now I am a kitty that cannot play with the other kittens.

I still am the MOST LOVEABLE, FRIENDLY, AND HANDSOME KITTY YOU WILL EVER SEE. Go ahead and do some research on CH kitties...I am a challenged kitty that may need some help in climbing or getting up to a chair or bed to cuddle with you. As I grow, my legs will get stronger with physical therapy - aka, massages. I know I will like that and you will like massaging my legs too!

==================================================

I am a kitten and full of fun and excitement and full of kitten antics.

I am a chill type cat yet playful. Basically, I am a content and happy kitten as had a super great foster who exposed me to young energic children, lots of adults, other cats and dogs.

Photos coming - but I am a handsome fella as I am an orange mackerel tabby - we of course, make the best cat ever.

I will still need time to adjust to your home to get all the scents, but it will not take me long.

My siblings all have been adopted, so now it is my turn.

Not sure what happened or what caused it (but my foster Mum thinks I had fallen off something?), but I have a twitch in my neck. The vet did a thorough exam and tests, but nothing shows. It does not prevent me from being a kitten.


Come and visit me on the weekends during playtime at the Chesapeake PetSmart Store, Pet Adoption Center on Greenbrier Parkway:
Saturday, 1100 - 1700
Sunday, 1200 - 1630
Plus, you can always visit me any time the store is open Monday - Friday and call the contact number on my cage card to meet me.
Adoption fee is cash or check only
