My story

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

Wagner is a 2 month old domestic shorthair black female with cerebellar hypoplasia (CH). Please read the entire profile as she has special needs. Her condition will not progress or cause her life to be any shorter than any other kitten, it just makes her a little extra special.

Meet Wagner, a kitten with a symphony of personality traits. Sweet as a morning serenade, she is a loyal companion who will always stay by your side. Her gentle nature is akin to a soothing lullaby, while her funny antics will have you laughing like a lively scherzo. Smart and curious, Wagner will explore her surroundings with the enthusiasm of a rousing overture. She's a cuddly, goofy, playful, and energetic little maestro, conducting her own orchestra of fun and love. Adopt Wagner and let her fill your life with her harmonious melody of companionship and joy.

Wagner and her 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. Wagner's signs are very subtle. She sways back and forth slightly when sitting, walking, eating, and drinking.

We have a veterinary resource on cerebellar hypoplasia which we are happy to send to anyone interested in adopting Wagner or her 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.

Wagner is a very sweet and affectionate girl. She would be best paired and adopted with one of her 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 (Tchaikovsky, Bach, 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.

Wagner is spayed, vaccinated with her first FVRCP, and is microchipped. She will need two booster FVRCP vaccines and a rabies vaccine when age appropriate which will be the responsibility of her 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.
