Cardamom's Story

Cardamom is the sweetest, cutest, best girl in the entire world. Little Cardamom loves nothing more than to be held. She is so content in a lap, cradled in hands or lying on her back getting a gentle belly rub. Cardamom also enjoys looking out the window, sunbathing, spring toys and crunchy balls, and playing with her brother, Dill. <br/><br/>Cardamom has some special needs that will require a special home. She was born as part of a litter of six in one of our foster homes on May 31, 2026. A few days after her birth, the foster home dealt with a feline distemper (FPV) outbreak. Three of the kittens, including one of Cardamom's brothers, died. Cardamom survived but her early exposure to the illness has left her with permanent balance and coordination challenges. <br/><br/>Cardamom wobbles when she walks, falls over easily, and has a very wide stance. She is unable to climb or jump. She is currently spoon fed wet food and eats a teensy bit of dry daily mostly on her own. She is very enthusiastic about her meals! Cardamom has figured out to use the litter box in a way that works for her, which involves lying down on her side, so she needs a family committed to keeping her box very clean and willing to help her with the occasional clean-up post litter box use. When Cardamom becomes stressed or over-stimulated, she becomes a bit more wobbly, so a calm and lower traffic home without dogs or young children will be best for her. <br/><br/>Cardamom's family must be committed to keeping her safe and clean. She will do best in a home with more carpet/rugs than wood floors. She needs something to grip onto when she walks! Her current home also uses low entry litter boxes, special bowls for meals and bumpers around her bedroom. While she may get stronger as she grows, she will never outgrown her wobbles. Her condition is not progressive and will not impact her lifespan. <br/><br/>Cardamom is adoption ready! She is up to date on all age appropriate vaccines, dewormed, and spayed. We would love to see her find a home with her brother Dill, but, if she is not adopted with her brother, she will need to go to a home that already has a kitten or young cat.
