Hi, I’m Penelope! I may be petite, but my personality is anything but small. I was born with cerebellar hypoplasia (CH), a non-progressive neurological condition that affects my balance and coordination, giving me a delightfully wobbly walk with an occasional flip in the air. But don’t worry—I don’t let that slow me down! CH kitties like me adapt well and live happy, full lives with just a little extra care. We don’t experience pain from our condition and often develop creative ways to get around.
My foster mom says I’m a perfect mix of sweet, spunky, independent, and determined. She’s amazed by how I’ve figured out how to do things MY way. I eat on my own using the corner as support and use the litter box like a pro—though I prefer to do it while laying down (it’s comfy, okay?). My playful spirit and resilience make me a truly special companion. I love to play and snuggle with the resident cat, and while the dog and I don’t exactly hang out, we have a solid agreement to peacefully ignore each other.
Now, I’m ready to find my forever home! So, if you’re looking for a special kitten who will bring joy, laughter, and lots of purrs, I just might be the one for you! Ok, my foster mom told me to add that my ideal home would be one where there is more carpet than hardwood or tile and one that I don't have to attempt stairs.

**Because we require home visits, we only adopt locally to the Dallas/Fort Worth area. For more on adoption policies, please see the How it Works page of our website, www.habitat4paws.org.**

2.
Home Check
We require a home visit. If all is good and everyone is in agreement, we will leave the pet for a 5 day home trial.
3.
Pay Fee
After a successful home trail, we ask to finalize the paperwork and pay the adoption fee.
Additional adoption info
FEES:
Dogs are $225
Puppies under 1 year are $275
Cats and kittens are $185
All animals have been spayed/neutered, received age appropriate vaccinations, had a heart-worm test, a Feline Leukemia test and a fecal check and are dewormed, microchipped and current on heart-worm and flea preventative medications at the time of adoption.
Adopters must be 21 and have a valid Texas driver’s license or a state-issued ID that matches the home address. If new to the area, a utility bill in the name of adopter will suffice. Renters must present proof of pet deposit or landlord approval to have a pet.
We require that you visit with a pet and adoption counselor. We prefer that all family members be present when the pet is introduced to its potential new family. Current pets are welcomed and encouraged to be part of the meeting too.
If a good match is found, adopters complete an application. Same day adoptions may be done; however, Habitat 4 Paws reserves the right to request a home visit prior to adoption. We do not hold pets nor do we adopt on a first-come/first-serve basis.

More about this rescue
The mission of H4P is to rescue and find permanent homes for dogs and cats while caring for them in a volunteer-staffed facility and foster program. We are currently raising funds for a building and in the interim are a foster based group.
Beyond just sheltering animals, we are proactive in other areas that will help keep animals out of municipal shelters. Paws Pantry animal-food bank collects and distributes dog and cat food to those in need. H4P hosts microchip clinics so that animals will have a permanent ID and can be reunited with their owners.
