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. You can start by completing an adoption application at www.wbcats.org/adopt.
