Trail Mix ICC-153-25

About Triscuit and Trail Mix<br/>Are you one of those very special people who have a place in their heart and home for one (or possibly two) special-needs cat(s)? WAIF currently has two sweet young kitties with "wobbly cat syndrome" available for adoption. They are nine months old. Here's what their foster mom says about them:<br/><br/>Trail Mix and Triscuit came to WAIF with their siblings when they were just roughly 2 weeks old. Their two siblings have since been adopted, while Trail Mix and Triscuit stayed in foster care since we discovered they have Cerebellar Hypoplasia as they developed. Also known as "Wobbly Cat Syndrome", it is an underdevelopment of the cerebellum, theorized to be caused by a viral infection the mother had while pregnant, or the kittens had at a young age. As a result, Trail Mix and Triscuit have a notable lack of coordination, which primarily leads to difficulty walking and other activities, such as playing, eating, and using the bathroom. Cerebellar Hypoplasia does not have a cure, but also does not cause any pain or worsen over time. Affected cats learn to adapt to it over time and can live long and happy lives.<br/><br/>Trail Mix is the more mobile and gregarious, always eager to make friends and play, both with people and other cats. He also does exceptionally well in the bath and is happy to cuddle when finally tuckered out.<br/>Triscuit is a little queen who enjoys being pampered and held most of the time and shows off some sass and attitude when playing, especially during bath time. She does not seem as outgoing as Trail Mix, but she is very tolerant of new people and situations.<br/><br/>Both are not currently litterbox trained and are used to going to the bathroom on pee pads (though not very precisely, and will require frequent bathing due to this), and are usually kept in a padded and fully enclosed kennel when not supervised for their safety. Trail Mix and Triscuit must be indoor only due to their motor difficulties and require low, non-slip, bowls for food and water, carpet or rugs for traction, and must not have access to furniture or structures that could pose injuries from falling (i.e. cat trees, stairs, tables, tall sofas or beds, etc.) or bumping into hard surfaces (tables, chairs, other hard sided appliances or furniture).<br/><br/>*Note: "Wobbly cat syndrome" is not contagious. Triscuit is the kitty with more white on her face and coat.<br/><br/>Please give the shelter a call at (360) 678-8901 if you have any questions about Triscuit or Trail Mix.<br/><br/>Considerations<br/>Special needs<br/>Indoors only
