Arthur & Aggie-Cerebellar Hypoplasia Torbie Mix Anchorage, AK

Update 10.4.22: Aggie and Arthur were returned to our program. They settled right back into their routine and are continuing to thrive. They will need an experienced home who has experience with CH and will maintain communication with us to avoid any potential issues.

Arthur & Aggie are a bonded 6 years young pair who were born with Cerebellar Hypoplasia. CH is a non progressive neurological disorder that affects balance and coordination. CH doesn't stop these two from having tons of fun and they plan to live long and happy lives together. They must go to a home together and without other cats as Aggie has made it clear that Arthur is the only one for her. We will assist with helping their home set up the environment to help keep them safe and sound. They both use their specialized litter boxes, eat well and are very bonded. They are such incredible snuggle bugs and would love to go to a loving home where they will be cherished. Aggie and Arthur love to climb up on you and lay by your side purring away in kitty bliss.

Aggie is in need of a dental which we will have done once we have enough funds raised to cover that. We would like that done before any potential placement.

Enrichment and friendship building time is implemented every day in their foster home and we aim to end each "session" on a positive note. They are an exceptionally sweet and loving pair that would make a wonderful addition to your loving home.

Mojo's Hope always wants to ensure that our rescues choose the most wonderful home possible. To help our adopters match up with the PURRfect pet, we are asking something unique for our adoption fee.

First, we ask you to please fill out our adoption application. Our adoption fee for cats is generally $100.00. Instead of paying this adoption fee, we are asking our adopters to use that money towards preparing for the arrival of their newest addition.

Here is a list of suggested supplies to get your home ready. •Food/Water dishes • Uncovered Litter Box/Litter
• Scratching Posts/Cat Trees
• Feliway (cat pheromone that assists with stress and behaviors)
• Cat Beds/Hidey Spot/Cube/Kennel (foster home will provide at least one piece of bedding or a bed from the foster home to assist with the transition, having their own smell alleviates stress)
• Cat Trees/Perches
• Music (Through a Cat’s Ear is highly recommended, www.icalmpet.com
• Enrichment Toys
• Cat DVDs
• Collar/harness/ID tag
• Carrier

Mojo's Hope provides a care package for each of our rescues when they go to their adoptive home. This care package includes food, bedding, toys, enrichment activities, treats, and a transition packet. The transition packet provides the adopter with a look into the daily life of our rescue and helps the cat and the family support each other during this process.

Mojo's Hope has a very clear and strong position when it comes to cats keeping their claws. We are adamantly opposed to declawing. It is barbaric, cruel, and has proven to cause long-term negative effects on the cat’s body and emotional well-being. Both our adoption application and agreements have an additional clause that the adoptive family signs, that states very clearly that they agree to reach out to MH if behavior concerns arise and that they are never to declaw the cat.

Please do not submit your application if you have any intention of declawing.
