Muffin Domestic Short Hair Decatur, IL

Special needs Muffin is the sweetest girl. She likes being snuggled, picked up, carried around and sitting on the couch with her people. Muffin loves laying by the patio door in the sun listening to the birds. Muffin is pretty quiet for the most part but does purr a lot. Muffin is bonded to her brother Max. Both Max and Muffin were seen at the University of Illinois Veterinary Teaching Hospital by the Neurology department and diagnosed with cerebellar encephalopathy which affects their balance and coordination. While Max is still ambulatory, Muffin is unable to walk on her own and scoots around on her belly. We’ve tried to get her to use a special cart but Muffin wants nothing to do with that and prefers to get around the way she’s learned.
Muffin is able to eat and drink on her own. She will get to the special litter box her foster family made for her but the wrong end ends up inside the litter. Instead, Muffin goes just outside the box. The area is lined with special rugs that help with accidents and they’re changed and laundered regularly. Her foster family also tries to get her out of the box as soon as she’s done to help control any accidents and messes.
We are looking for a family that has more time to spend Max and Muffin and is willing to learn and adapt to their special needs. A home with a window at ground level or glass patio door would be ideal so they can look outside. Max and Muffin currently live with a cat friendly dog and they do well with him.
Muffin is spayed, up to date on age appropriate vaccinations, dewormed, treated for fleas, FIV/FeLV negative, and microchipped.  Muffin is 1 year old. (~DOB 7/25/22). Her adoption fee is $55.
