Present's Story

Present is the gift that keeps on giving! This fuzzy little kitty is the sweetest ever. Present was born with what we suspect is cerebellar hypoplasia, or "wobbly cat syndrome." For most cats, this means they lose their balance, wobble, and fall over often. For Present, her case is much more severe. She is unable to walk or stand. Present lives life on her side, scooting to where she needs to be. She can sometimes get herself into an upright position but will flop back quickly. <br/>She can get down the stairs like a slinky, then meows because she can't get back up. She scoots well on carpet, but if she hits the hardwood floor, it's fruitless flailing until someone rescues her. She also Usain Bolted across the living room one day when her foster mom turned on the vacuum cleaner. So getting around isn't too much of an issue for her.<br/><br/>Present can use the litterbox, but she needs your help! We have worked with her to time her number 1s and number 2s right after she eats. She just needs someone to hold her upright in the litterbox and grasp her back foot for optimum pottying leverage. <br/><br/>Present gets most of her hydration from wet food, as she doesn't like to drink from a bowl. You can also water down her dry food, or supplement with some hydro boosters. Her foster home bought a water dispenser usually given to hamsters and she will drink from that sometimes when offered to her. <br/><br/>Present's foster home rigged a harness to keep her upright so that she can eat. Present can eat lying on her side but sometimes her legs get a mind of their own and kick the bowl out of the way. She also hangs out in the harness to strengthen her legs and give her body a chance to stretch out and get off her side. <br/><br/>Present absolutely loves crinkle toys. For all that she lacks in mobility, she can MOVE when one of her crinkly balls rolls by. She also likes dangly and tippy toys. <br/><br/>Present likes to hide under the couch to get her 10 hours of beauty sleep during the day. Then she's ready to play. She loves to snuggle, and purrs constantly when she's being held, which is often, because she prefers to be held. <br/><br/>Present's foster home made a little "crib" so she can sleep safely on the people bed with the family. And like the average toddler, Present knows how to escape from her crib so that she can explore and attack toes under the blanket. <br/><br/>Present loves the foster home's resident dog. They play and wrestle, and Present doesn't seem to mind the slobber. She would do well with a pup that can handle a fragile friend. She would also do well with a gentle snuggly cat friend - her mom, Yuki is also adoptable. <br/><br/>Little Present will bring so much joy to a family that knows how to handle a special needs cat, and that has the time and dedication to meet her needs. She is not the type of kitty that can be left home alone for a couple days. She is loved by everyone who has met her and she will be an amazing addition to a lucky home.<br/><br/>DOB: 11/22/25<br/><br/>All cats are altered, microchipped, dewormed and given age appropriate vaccinations.<br/><br/><br/>PLEASE NOTE: We do not have a physical shelter, therefore all our cats reside in foster homes. We do require a completed application prior to setting up a Meet & Greet in a foster home.

Urban Cat Coalition's Adoption Policy
Adoption Process We are a best match rescue. Our goal is to match the individual pet to where we feel they would be most successful. It is not necessarily first-come, first-served for approved applications. After selecting a cat or kitten you are interested, or if you intend to adopt a cat chosen by our match makers, an application is filled out. Application: https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/UCC/Cat The Urban Cat Coalition adoption team will perform background checks, veterinarian reference checks and landlord checks. Once the application review process is complete, you will be contacted by one of our match makers and then you will be put in touch with the foster home to arrange a meet and greet (virtual or in-person) with the kitty you want to adopt. Once you have met the kitty, you and the foster home will decide if it is a good fit. After this step, we have a 24 hour hold to allow you time to be sure adopting is the right decision. The foster family will stay in touch, and they will arrange the final adoption, provide a contract to sign and they will give you the physical copies of the cats medical records. Once they return the contract to our admin, we will email you digital copies of all medical records and register the microchip to you. Please note applicants must be at least 21 years of age to be eligible for adopting a cat from Urban Cat Coalition. Adoption fees: • Kittens (Under 7 months) $165 or $305 for two kittens. • Adults (7 months and over) $85 Services included in the adoption fees: - FVRCP Vaccines (appropriate for age of kitten/cat) - Rabies Booster if over 5 months old (Good for 1 year from date given) - Preventative Dewormer - Checked for fleas and ticks - Spay/Neuter - Microchip with lifetime membership
