Meebs and his brother Obo are not your typical easy cats-they come with extra challenges that require a special kind of dedication and love. They Here's what you need to know if you're considering giving these sweet boys a forever home:
Home Adjustments:
- Solid surface floors are essential, as carpets are not suitable. Be prepared for them to use their nails to climb up your couch.
- Potty Pads: You'll need to have potty pads available and be okay with occasional accidents.
- Safety: Any stairs in your home will need baby gates to prevent falls.
Despite these challenges, if you're willing to put in the effort to help them thrive, you'll be rewarded with the sweetest, most loving companions.
Meet Meebs
Meebs has the most adorable, tiny kitten-like meow! When it's dinner time, he throws himself across the floor in an enthusiastic, wobbly flop. He's mastered the cat tree and loves climbing up high. Cuddling with Obo on the couch is one of his favorite pastimes.
Challenges and Special Needs
Meebs and Obo both have moderate to severe cerebellar hypoplasia, making finding a potty solution difficult. They sometimes use a litterbox with high sides and a low entry, but they mostly rely on heavy, thick potty pads. Accidents happen, but they always try their best.
Adoption Considerations
While they adore each other, they are not completely bonded and could be adopted separately. However, two is always better than one, and they do enjoy each other's company.
If you're ready to open your heart and home to these special boys, you'll find their love and companionship to be incredibly rewarding.

CH is a neurologic disorder that doesn't get worse and doesn't get better. CH most often causes jerky, shaky, unbalanced movements. There is no pain associated with CH and the cat knows no other life and often do great!
