Domestic Short Hair Cats Available for Adoption in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Martini's a super sweet gal who's all belly rolls and tiny meows! She's a social outgoing girl who loves to love! Martini is made even more cuter by her CH ~ Cerebellar Hypoplasia, also known as "wobbly cat syndrome". CH doesn't get worse or improve. Martini can still get around, but comes equipped with wibble-wobbles while she walks and a persistent head tremor!

Martini is looking a home that is comfy with making some accommodations for her in her forever home! Due to CH's cats "wobbly uncoordinated nature", stairs should be blocked off with baby gates to keep them safe. Lining the home with a few extra rugs so she can grip the ground while moving and groving is also a huge help!

Since manuevering can be bit more of a mission for wobbly cats, she'll need an adopter who is happy to help maintain/troubleshoot an accessible litterbox. Right now we use a a low-sided litterbox in a corner so Martini can lean against the wall while she does her buisness, but high-sided boxes with a low, wide entryways may work for her as well!

Familiar with CH and/or willing to learn about this amazing girl Martini? Reach out today!
