Squash's Story

"How did THIS...turn into THIS!?!" - ask us for the OG baby squash photo to see how absolutely perfect this meme would be to describe his short little life. Squash is a lot of things, but above all, he is the strongest, most tenacious, most incredible kitten with a motivation to live the happiest most independent life he can. The only reason this kitten survived infancy, was his will to live. While Baby Squash does every thing a little different from all other kittens, the spectacular part is that he DOES all the things other kittens do! He can use a litterbox, eat, play, move all over, crawl in your lap, purr, snuggle, and worm his way into your heart. The list of things baby squash can't do is significantly smaller - primarily walk. Don't tell him though, because he has no idea he is any different than any other cat! <br/><br/>Baby Squash would thrive in a home with other cats to play and snuggle with. He ideally needs a home where there is an area of soft carpet flooring for him to call his own. Squash doesn't need a whole house, just a large room (bedroom/living room/floor) will do! He enjoys all sorts of different toys, especially tents and sparkly toys, just as much as he enjoys being snuggled like a baby in your arms for a nap or maybe a movie night on the couch. <br/><br/>Baby Squash was born with a neurological condition called Cerebellar Hypoplasia aka wobbly-cat syndrome, which means his brain development was affected by his mom coming in contact with a virus while pregnant. Squash and both of his siblings are all affected to different levels of severity. CH is not contagious, painful, or progressive and causes ataxic or uncoordinated movements.

Wish Upon A Rescue's Adoption Policy
Thank you for considering adoption first!! Wish Upon a Rescue, hereinafter referred to as WISH, has dogs and cats available for adoption. We believe that all of these animals deserve a second chance at a forever home, regardless of breed, age or physical ability. These animals come to WISH for a variety of reasons, and we will be sure to share with you all of the factual information we have on each pet prior to adoption. These animals may come to us after being found stray (lost and unclaimed from animal control), as an owner surrender due to illness or relocation of the previous owner, or as a result of unwanted litters of kittens and puppies. But don’t worry; no matter how these animals found safety at WISH, they are all ready to brighten your life. They are WISHING on every star for their forever families, and they are working hard in their foster homes to learn how to be the best dog or cat in town! When adopting an animal, you will be saving at least two lives: The life of your newly adopted family member and a second life by opening up a space in a foster home for WISH to save another animal. Please remember, when you adopt you are making a lifetime commitment to your new family member. When you complete the application, it will be reviewed by a WISH Adoption Counselor. The adoption counselor’s primary responsibility is placing an animal in the home best suited for its unique needs. An interview with you and your family will allow the adoption counselor to help ensure a good fit with your new family member and answer any questions you may have. In some cases, an adoption counselor will bring the animal to your home in preparation for adoption. This is a good time for all members of the household and any current animals to meet. This is also a good time to ask any questions you may have. Depending on the needs of your family and the animal, the adoption may be completed during this visit. Here at WISH, we strongly believe in positive reinforcement training for all cats and dogs. We require that puppies and the majority of adult dogs complete a positive reinforcement training class at a certified training facility within two month of adoption at the adopter’s expense. We would be more than happy to help you find a trainer that meets your family’s needs. A copy of the training completion certificate should to be sent to a WISH After Care Manager. A WISH After-Care Manager will be in contact with you several times in the next few months to ask how the animals is doing, ask about the animal’s health and well-being, and to assist with any issues or questions that you may have. A valid driver’s license or state ID is required for identification purposes and will be copied for the animals file. The primary applicant must be 21 years old or older. WISH reserves the right to accept or deny any applicant or application based on our requirements for adoption and the needs of the animal. Completion of this application does not guarantee approval for adoption. Please be truthful in your responses of this adoption application as it will help the adoption counselor find the perfect pet for your family. Failure to provide truthful answers may result in a nullification of your application and contract. WISH is an all volunteer organization and we appreciate your cooperation and patience with our adoption process. We will do our very best to complete the adoption process as quickly as possible, while ensuring what is best for the animals and your family.
