Are you looking for a lap cat but hate litter boxes? Do you like to travel with your cat but hate the inconvenience of packing a litterbox and litter to bring with you? Arlo might be just the cat you`re looking for!
Arlo is one of our special needs cats. He was born with moderate Cerebellar Hypoplasia (CH), also known as wobbly kitten syndrome. He is not very steady on his feet and cannot use a litter box without falling into his own waste, so he has been diaper trained (Huggies Overnights size 3). His foster mom also has a special needs cat that is diaper trained and said that Arlo does fantastic with the diapers and is easy to change and clean. Arlo is a purr machine and loves to hang out with his foster mom on the couch or bed and watch TV in the evenings. He has a lot to say when it comes to other cats and dogs, but he is all noise. He will give love bites and because of the CH, sometimes the love bite will be a little harder than he planned. For that reason, he would not do well in a home with preteen children. CH is a birth defect usually caused by a momma cat giving her fetus panleukopenia invitro. He will not get worse or better and CH does not affect their live span. Arlo likes his independence and while there are things like diapers and a feeding station that can make his life and yours a little easier, it`s important that he is allowed to be a cat. He doesn`t walk well on floors without carpet or rugs. It`s important that he be able to walk on his own to ensure that his muscles do not atrophy. He cannot have access to stairs in a home. `
If you are interested in learning more about Arlo or scheduling a time to visit, please email his foster mom at: Beyond.Joyces.Foster.Care@gmail.com. You can also follow the foster`s FaceBook page: Beyond Joyce`s Foster Care to see photos and videos of this and other kittens/cats in the care of this foster home.

Things to know:
If you already know you want to proceed with adopting a specific pet, please email us at petadoption@burlingtonnc.gov and let us know you want to go ahead and adopt. You can still meet the pet before finalizing the adoption to make sure they are a great fit for you.
Pets are adopted on a first-come-first-served basis and may be adopted very quickly. You can see the current status of available pets on our website. Pets that are listed as "Available" are currently available for adoption. Those with a status of "Adoption Pending" or "Unavailable" already have been spoken for and are no longer available for adoption. The status of these pets will be updated back to "Available" if their original placement falls through. Our website automatically updates every hour and displays all pets at BAS Pet Adoption & Resource Center or foster.
Visitation and adoption of pets in foster must be scheduled directly with the foster volunteer since these pets are not at the Animal Services Center. Email fosterpets@burlingtonnc.gov to schedule a visit or adoption of a pet in foster care.

Pets receive vaccines, testing, and preventatives appropriate for their species and age, as well as any necessary treatments. Dogs and cats are spayed or neutered. BAS adopters also receive exclusive discounts on food, veterinary care, training, and more through our partners. All this is included in the adoption!
Adoption fees are very low and are sometimes waived as part of regular adoption special events through out the year. To see our current adoption fees and specials, visit burlingtonnc.gov/visitBAS. Our goal is to ensure every pet has a positive outcome and gets to live life with a loving family.
To take home a pet, adopters or fosters only need to present a government-issued photo ID and be at least 18 years old. There is NO lengthy paperwork to fill out and NO intrusive or lengthy process. Most pets can go home the same day, and we provide resources and ongoing support to help you and the pet make a smooth transition!
