Fluffy's Story

Special Needs, Urgent<br/><br/>This 5-month-old special boy has cerebellar hypoplasia. This most likely happened due to a viral<br/><br/>Infection his mom had while she was pregnant with him. There are different degrees of this condition, and unfortunately, Fluffy has a more severe form. The cerebellum<br/>supports coordination, as you can see when he walks, plays, and eats<br/>. He can live a long, normal life, and this condition does not typically affect other parts of his body.<br/><br/>He can walk with a little difficulty, but boy does he get around! He loves to be with his human, and has grown fond of one of the other cats in the house (it did take him a long time to warm up to him). He’s not one to jump up on things and should not be left alone on high surfaces. He eats dry food well on his own and drinks water on his own, although sometimes he needs a little help. He is very good at asking when he needs help by giving a sweet meow! I do help him with the canned food that he eats twice a day in under 5 min! He did not take well to a litter box so we have compromised with pee pads with a dedicated area, and he knows to go potty in that space. He is full of spunk and personality and loves to make muffins in his bed with one of the loudest purrs I’ve heard. He would make a very special companion for someone who understands he needs more TLC than your average kitten.<br/><br/>Neutered and up to date on vaccines<br/><br/>As always with litters, applications for two or more kittens will take priority.<br/><br/>You can find our online-fillable adoption application by visiting https://animalsforlife.org/feline-adoption-application.

Animals for Life, Inc.'s Adoption Policy
All of our prospective adopters must fill out an adoption application and review the application with one of our adoption counselors. The adoption application will enable us to get to know you and your family a little better and help us to better match you with a pet that will suit your lifestyle. We request that all members of a family be present at the time of application. It's important to us that all members of your household be comfortable with the animals that you are considering for adoption. We try to ensure that the animals you are looking at are a safe and compatible match for all members of your family by giving you information about the activity level, training needs and general personality traits of the animals in our care. We try very hard to make the best possible match between your home and one of our pets, so we do reserve the right to deny any application. We also will accept multiple applications on the same animal in an effort to find it the best home. We require written permission from your landlord or management company in the event that you rent your residence. Animals for Life checks veterinarian references and will make a home visit before and after a pet is adopted. We do not ship any animal. We remain available for assistance and follow-up advice after a pet goes to a new home. Remember, our job begins with an adoption—we are always happy to hear from you! Our adoption counselors are available to answer any training or behavior questions you may have. Our adoption fee for adult cats is $225.00. Kittens 12 months of age and under will be adopted at $250.00. The adoption fee includes all age-appropriate shots, spay/neuter, test for FIV/FeLV, de-worming, and treatment for fleas/ticks (if needed). No cat will be officially adopted without first being spayed or neutered. Applications for pairs of cats take priority over single-cat adoptions. No animal will be "reserved" for a family without an approved application. Our adoption fees are crucial to us being able to continue our work, and therefore are not refundable.
