Maya - ADOPTION PENDING!

Meet Maya, a petite dilute tortiseshell who along with two other kittens, likely her siblings (Tangerine and Ash) were found in a box on the side of a busy road. A good samaritan rescued them. After appropriate vet care they have all now made their way to Second Chance where the only box they will use again is for potty.<br/><br/>Maya has an irregular wobbly gait. She displays a mild form of Cerebellar Hypoplasia (CH). This is a congenital neurological condition that affects a cat's balance and coordination. It is caused by an underdeveloped cerebellum and results in a "wobbly" gait, head tremors, and a wide-based stance. While there is no cure, the condition is not progressive, not painful, and most cats can live long happy lives with some environmental adjustments.<br/><br/>Maya is very sweet but a little shy right now. She appreciates a slow, gentle approach but has easily been held on a lap soaking up pets and loves to be held by one of our volunteers. She and her siblings have been traumatized with being abandoned and then residing in a few locations before coming to Second Chance. Maya is already building confidence and becoming a trusting, loving kitten we know she is.<br/><br/>Maya's potential adopter will need to consider potential fall risks, like off of furniture or stairs. Being able to give Maya a more grounded living will be the best and safest for her. While we recommend kittens have a playmate, Maya's playmate cannot be aggressive. having a cuddle buddy may be even better than a playmate.<br/><br/>We believe that kittens are happiest when they have another kitty to spend time with so Maya will need to be adopted with another kitten or already have a young not too playful cat at home. <br/><br/>For the safety of our kittens and for children, we do not adopt kittens under six months old to a home with children under the age of 6.<br/><br/>Maya has been spayed, vaccinated, and microchipped. Her approximate birthdate is 06/23/2025. Her adoption fee is $120. <br/><br/>If you are interested in meeting Maya or any of the cats at Second Chance Cats of West Michigan, please go to sccatswm.org/adopt to fill out an application, or stop in during open hours on Fridays from 11-2 or Saturdays and Sundays from 11-4. <br/><br/>Please note - we can only adopt to those who live within a one hour drive of Grand Rapids.<br/><br/>Thank you!
