Shimmy Jimmy - Domestic Short Hair Cat for Adoption in North Port, Florida

Meet Shimmy Jimmy, a kitten who lives up to his name. Jimmy has cerebellar hypoplasia, moderate in his case, which means his wobble is part of his walk. He sways, he stumbles, he occasionally face-plants into his food bowl mid-bite. He also gets right back up every single time, tail high, completely unbothered.
CH isn't painful and it isn't progressive. Jimmy's brain just developed a little differently before he was born, and it only affects his coordination, not his mind, his appetite, or his enthusiasm for chaos. He'll need a home without stairs he can tumble down, non-slip footing, and someone who won't flinch at a little extra mess. In exchange, you get a cat who is exactly as much fun as his name suggests.
Jimmy's looking for an adopter who's dealt with a special-needs pet before, or is ready to learn, a home patient enough to let him do things his own wobbly way.
