My story

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

Dizzy is an orange tabby Domestic Short Hair cat. Dizzy gets his name from the way he walks. This special boy has a condition called cerebellar hypoplasia. Cats with cerebellar hypoplasia (CH) can live long, happy lives with proper care and help, but they may need some extra TLC. CH is a permanent condition that affects a cat's brain development, making it difficult for them to control their movements, balance, and coordination. Dizzy can sometimes be a bit more irritable due to his condition, and he doesn't have precise control of his extremities, so we would like for him to go home with an experienced cat owner or someone who is willing to maintain a safe environment for this clumsy boy. He lived with his previous owner for several years until his owner was no longer able to care for him. He has never been around dogs, but seems to like other cats just fine. Dizzy's condition isn't the only thing that makes him special. He is also a very sweet and loving cat who enjoys exploring his space and playing with toys. Dizzy loves giving and receiving cuddles, but only when he is the one to initiate them. His estimated birth date is 1/1/2019.

Dizzy is sponsored by Lisa Reynolds. Thank you Lisa for your generous donation in honor of Dizzy!

More about this shelter

The mission of the Humane Society of Pulaski County is to rescue, care for and find homes for abandoned, abused, homeless and unwanted animals; to reduce suffering of animals; and to reduce the number of homeless animals through adoption, spay/neuter, and through education.

The Humane Society of Pulaski County provides access to low-cost, healthy, inoculated, sterilized animals to people seeking to adopt animals as pets only. Adopters are screened to see if they can provide the basics of care for the animals, proper housing, and continued veterinary maintenance; and have no history of animal abuse or irresponsible ownership.

The Humane Society is a private no-kill shelter, supported solely by donations, fund-raisers, bequests and grants. We receive no city, county or state funding, nor are we affiliated with any other organization. We have been rescuing animals since 1946, and have been in our present building since 2000.
