Fennel's Story

Meet Fennel! This sweet 2-year-old guy came to Animal Friends from our Humane Investigations Team for having too many cats within the home. Since being here at AF we noticed him wobbling everywhere he walked so after some testing our medical team diagnosed Fennel with Myotonia Congenita - which is a hereditary neuromuscular disorder characterized by persistent contraction, particularly during muscle movement. Because of this - Fennel is looking for a home where they will be able to monitor him and give him the assistance he needs with using a litterbox, eating/drinking, and day to day activities. His diagnosis however has not stopped him from being a loveable boy who enjoys people and attention, of course. Fennel could also potentially live with other cats. If you're interest in taking Fennel home as a Hospice Adoption, reach out to us at the Adoption Department to learn what steps you need to take!<br/><br/>Fennel's foster mom says he is quite the guy, and is friendly, loveable, playful and navigates the household well. He is currently living with one of our other wobbly veggie cats, Rutabaga, and while he does not have to go home with Rutabaga, they are welcome to be adopted together. <br/><br/>Fennel is also one of Yana's Special Felines which means his requested adoption donation has been underwritten and he will be sent home with an individualized starter kit of supplies and other support based on his unique needs.<br/><br/>This animal currently resides in a foster home, so we would love to schedule you an appointment to come in and meet them at a time when their highly dedicated foster parent can bring them in. Reach out to schedule an appointment today! <br/><br/>Fill out an application; Thinkingoutsidethecage.org<br/>All of our animals are altered, microchipped and up to date on vaccines before being made available for adoption.
