Foster Update: Weeble

Meet Weeble the wobbly kitty cat after a year in foster care!

This kitty is one of a kind and full of personality and we have been fostering him for this past year. Weeble is a special kitty because he has Cerebellar Hypoplasia and due to his CH, Weeble does have a few special needs. CH is non-progressive, meaning it does not get worse with age and occurs when the cerebellum, the part of the brain which controls fine motor skills and coordination, is not completely mature at birth. He appears to be drunk most of the time and is a very clumsy kitty but has learned was to live with his limits. He can climb up and down onto furniture, use the litter box on his own, and get where he needs to go! He uses his claws more than an average cat as that the way he normally maintains his balance & grip.
​He absolutely loves to cuddle & is definitely a Velcro cat! If you’re in the room, he’s snuggled up next to you or meowing at you to love on him. He just wants to be where the people are! He enjoys being carried around, I think it’s just less work for him and he likes to be close.

​He’s been in a foster home with both dogs, cats, and children. He does well with all, but he does sometimes scratch my daughter by mistake as his instant response to steady himself if to grip with his claws. Weeble does climb a cat tree on his own, can climb over baby gates, and is trying with all his might to venture upstairs on his own.

​Due to his issue with balance, He should be blocked from any stair access to prevent falls. He is a curious kitty and will try to follow you everywhere. Since we have had Weeble in our home for over a year, we are used to seeing the way he gets around but it can be hard to watch. He flips and flops and bumps and thumps to where he is trying to go but it doesn’t faze him because he knows no different. He has been this way his entire life and will always be, but he is learning to cope with his condition and he never lets it hold him back!
Adopting Weeble:
If you think that you might be a good fit to adopt Weeble, please fill out an online adoption application and email us at [email protected]. We would love to set up a meet and greet with him in his foster home.
