Shake `n Bake

Shake 'n Bake is an extremely playful cat and once familiar, will demand every second of your attention if you’re near. She loves playing. She will gnaw on fingers, ankles, and anything that is loose and hangs as a form of play/affection; she is slowly learning to use her claws to assist her movement. <br/><br/>Due to being a CH kitten, Shake 'n Bake is a relatively messy eater and tries her best to use the litter box well, but needs frequent cleanings/baths. She is not a big a fan of her baths and is terrified of blow dryers, but her accidents are happening less after getting familiar with the location of her low-entry litter box. Carpeted/padded floors help her move around successfully. <br/><br/>Being a CH cat, she’s very comfortable being held (but will morally object to being still from time to time) and considers this as acceptable attention when she asks for it (constant meowing). She is not a huge fan of being pet unless she's willing to play (gnawing and batting). She accepts cuddles when tired.<br/><br/>This cat has a condition called Cerebellar Hypoplasia (also called "Wobbly Cat Syndrome). This condition occurs in kittens whose mother develops an infection with the feline panleukopenia virus before they are born. A portion of the kitten’s brain development is affected, resulting in a small and less functional cerebellum. The cerebellum is involved in balance, equilibrium, muscle tone, and the coordination of voluntary motor movement. Therefore, cats with cerebellar hypoplasia tend to lack coordination. They often walk with their legs widely placed and may lean against walls for support. Sitting still, they may look like a fairly normal cat but once focused on a toy, food bowl or friendly hand, tremors become more noticeable as their concentration becomes more intense. There is no treatment for cerebellar hypoplasia. It will not improve or worsen as the cat ages. Additionally, it is important to note that despite the underlying viral cause, these cats are not infectious to other cats. This cat should be indoors only, non-spill food dishes should be used, and several low sided litter boxes should be available. Most cats with this condition are happy, can have good life quality and make up in personality what they lack in motor skills.<br/><br/>Do you have questions about this animal or are you ready to take the next step to adoption?
