My personality

My story

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

LOCATED IN WATERLOO, ON
DOB: 12 Feb 2020
DSH brown tabby with white
Microchipped

Weebles is a very special cat who is currently looking for his forever home. Despite his disability, Weebles is incredibly determined and can do anything a normal cat can do. He may need a little extra care and some modifications to your home, but I promise you, he is worth it.

Weebles is extremely gentle and loves nothing more than cuddles, hugs and attention, especially in the morning! He might need some extra carpets or rubber padding in your home to help with his balance, but with a little patience and love, he will thrive in a space without many stairs.
Please click here to see short video of adorable Weebles on our FaceBook page.

Weebles has a neurological condition called Cerebellar Hypoplasia (CH). The cerebellum is smaller in CH cats. This causes difficulty with movement, most notably when walking. CH cats often shake before moving, this is called an intention tremor. It is usually seen prior to moving toward a goal, like food or a toy. CH cats are happy and not in pain. Weebles is able to use the litter box and get to his food and water. It just takes him some extra time with a few “weebles” in the journey. CH cats live as long as unaffected cats.

Additional adoption info

Adoption fee is $200 per adult cat, and $250 for kittens (under 8 months old).

This ensures that the cats that come into our care receive the attention they need, are spayed or neutered, and receive a rabies vaccination at the appropriate age. For City of Toronto residents, the adoption fee includes a mandatory City of Toronto cat license that is valid for one year. As you can imagine, these fees only begin to cover our costs; donations and ongoing fundraising efforts carry us the rest of the way!

Note:
-Senior cats (8 years or older) have an adoption fee of the adopter's choice, vs. our standard adult adoption fee of $200.
-Our adoption fee for an adult bonded pair (8 months or older) is $150 per cat vs. $200 per cat. Thanks for giving two loving friends a home together!
