My story

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

Bach is a 2 month old domestic shorthair brown tabby with cerebellar hypoplasia (CH). Please read the entire profile as he has special needs. His condition will not progress or cause his life to be any shorter than any other kitten, it just makes him a little extra special.

Meet Bach, a kitten with a symphony of charm. This sweet and adorable soul is the maestro of mischief, his curiousity leading him to explore every corner of his surroundings. Bach is friendly to everyone he meets, his goofy antics warming the hearts of those around him. Despite having cerebellar hypoplasia, Bach doesn't let this hold him back. He climbs and runs to and fro. One of his favourite resting spots is the top of the cat tree. He's a testament to resilience, his spirit unbroken by his condition. Bach's infectious joy and unwavering courage make him the perfect companion. Adopt Bach and bring home a symphony of love and laughter.

Bach and his siblings have something called cerebellar hypoplasia which is a congenital condition affecting the part of their brain responsible for motor function. Long story short, it causes cats to be uncoordinated and wobbly, which does not stop them from being able to do anything a cat needs to do. They love to play and wrestle together and are able to eat just fine. They are using the litter box with no troubles while at rescue and in their foster home. Each of the kittens have varying degrees of the signs of cerebellar hypoplasia. Bach's signs are very subtle. It's mostly noticed in his wobbliness in his back legs when he walks.

We have a veterinary resource on cerebellar hypoplasia which we are happy to send to anyone interested in adopting Bach or his composer siblings but wanting to know more first about CH. We recommend speaking with your veterinarian first to know all the ins and outs of adopting a kitten with CH.

Bach is a very sweet and affectionate boy. He would be best paired and adopted with one of his siblings, who would no doubt make their adoptive new family extremely happy and give them years of laughter, love and fun. All the composer siblings (Wagner, Tchaikovsky, Beethoven, and Schumann) LOVE to wrestle and would greatly benefit from a young cat in the home to play with and learn from. They do not like to be alone and need a furry companion to groom and cuddle with.

Bach is neutered, vaccinated with his first FVRCP, and is microchipped. He will need two booster FVRCP vaccines and a rabies vaccine when age appropriate which will be the responsibility of his adopters. The adoption fee for a single kitten is $300 and $550 for a pair. If you are interested in adopting, please submit an application.

Additional adoption info

Most of our cats live in foster homes. Some are available to meet at satellite locations such as Pet Valu and Ren's Depot. A few foster homes are available to meet and greets at their home, or we also do meet and greets at request at our shelter prior to adoption. Most of these results in same day adoptions, and only take place after an adoption interview.
