Meet Elmer

Meet Elmer!

Elmer is a super special guy looking for a super special home! This handsome cat was born with cerebellar hypoplasia (CH), otherwise known as "wobbly cat syndrome" - but hey, nobody is purrrfect! He just moves a little different, wobbling along to the beat of his own drum.

Cerebellar hypoplasia occurs when a kitten is born with an underdeveloped cerebellum, causing difficulties with balance and movement. This doesn't hurt or bother Elmer at all though, and "wobbly cats" can live normal, happy, wonderful lives!

Cats with CH usually need a few special considerations for their new home environment. Cats with this disorder should be kept away from stairs to avoid injury and could benefit from things like ramps to furniture, large easy to enter litterboxes, sturdy feeding bowls, etc.

We're still learning more about Elmer's sweet personality, but so far we know nothing holds him back and that he LOVES chin rubs!
