My story

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

Hi! I'm Gymnast, a female DSH Tortoiseshell, born around 8/06/21. I recently transferred to Wild Blue from Pampa, TX where it was determined I was born with Cerebellar Hypoplasia (CH), which means I wobble when I walk. CH is a neurological disorder that causes jerky movements, uncoordinated motion and loss of balance, but that doesn't stop me from enjoying my life to the fullest. I am a very affectionate kitty and as soon as I see you, I get up to greet you just so I can get as much loving as I can! I am able to maneuver around just fine, and I am not in pain at all while I'm walking about. Although, I can be a bit messy when I'm doing my business. I would do better with a large litter box that has high sides with one lowered side for entry and filled with plenty of litter. I adore being pet and brushed, and I enjoy snuggling with my human. I'm a bit shy at first with the other kitties or if there is a lot of activity/people around, but with some transition time, I adjust fine. I would do best in a home without stairs or have the stairs blocked with a pet gate, so I don't accidentally fall. Having CH means I am not able to protect myself as well, so I would need a home with a vigilant adopter and perhaps a gentle cat or dog. A slow introduction to your pets following Wild Blue's instructions will make a peaceful transition for all. I am ready to find the right family who can give me the environment to thrive, despite my condition. If you have room in your home and heart for a special needs kitty, please contact Wild Blue to set up an appointment to meet me and learn more about what my special needs require.
