Orbit Domestic Short Hair Rochester, MN

“Get your groove on with Orbit (gum)!” Yup, I’m a brown tabby kitten who was born in late February in a foster home to a mama cat named Eira. My brother Hubba Bubba and I got great care there, and now Mama and Hubba have been adopted. I stayed in my foster home a little longer because I am a special boy who needed a little more time before I was ready to come to the shelter. This is a lot of info, but please take time to learn about me. I was born with cerebellar hypoplasia, CH, which is also known as “wobbly cat syndrome." My foster mom explained, “This is a neurological disorder that causes jerky movements, uncoordinated motion and loss of balance.” It makes it hard for me to walk and run like a typical kitty would. At first I could only get around by tumbling and jumping, but now I am walking fairly confidently. I still tip over frequently, but I just get up and keep going! I have also learned to climb small objects, although getting down is hard for me. To keep me safe from injury, I need a home with NO STAIRS, or at least with baby gates to block them. I rely on my claws to get around. Hard floors are too slippery, so I NEED CARPET. I’ve been trained to use litter boxes lined with doggie pee pads because litter is too slippery and messy. I am a good boy about using the box! I have some head tremors, which makes eating messy, so I need to have SHALLOW DISHES, that are untippable, for wet food and water. I love attention and playing with crinkle or jingle/rattle ball toys and wand toys. I like low climbers and tunnel-type toys. I’d be content confined to a fall-proof bedroom, office, or sunroom with some time out to adventure and explore. I’d do great in an apartment! I’m snuggly, funny, have plenty of energy, and I would LOVE a cat companion to wrestle and snuggle with. I loved to play with my brother Hubba, and I got along wonderfully with my mom Eira as well. My foster mom says, “CH kitties are otherwise healthy. It is not contagious or painful, and these cats can live long, happy lives.
