Otto's Story

Otto is a super sweet and silly almost one year old boy! Otto is a special one because he has some sort of wiggle gene. He is a wobbly cat and is basically a wiggly worm. We are not sure exactly what is “wrong” with him, but what we do know is that his back legs are not very stable. When he runs around, he tends to lose balance and fall onto his back hips. He does not care at all! He is a very energetic and playful cat. This wobble does not impact his ability to go potty on his own and he is a professional litter box user with a perfect “no accident” record. <br/><br/>Otto clearly has some past trauma from the streets because he can be quite nervous around people. He has his special places that he will lay and happily accept major snuggles. His favorite spots are on the bed and on his fosters desk chair (his emotional support chair). <br/> <br/><br/>Otto goes up and down the stairs just fine, with the occasional crash or slip going down. He does best navigating on carpet, but still handles tile and laminate floor okay, he just tends to slip more on it. Due to being polydactyl and having extra toes, Otto needs regular nail trims to prevent his nails from becoming ingrown.<br/><br/>Otto and Tiger are the bestest of bonded buddies. They met in their foster home and instantly became best friends. They play together running around and wrestling, they snuggle each other, and they even groom each other. These boys are absolutely inseparable and have proven that although they aren't genetically brothers, they are brothers at heart! <br/><br/>All of our cats come spayed or neutered, microchipped, and with age-appropriate vaccinations. Young cats have an adoption fee of $175. Otto and Tiger have a bonded pair adoption fee of $262.50. If you would like to apply to be a forever home for this cat, please fill out a statement of interest at www.alternativehumanesociety.com. Unless otherwise indicated, all our cats and kittens are best suited for indoor-only life.
