I'm Little Carmin. When I came to my foster home I was thought to be a boy but turns out I'm a little girl cat. I'm a brown tabby and true to my name, I am little! When I first got to my foster home I was so scared! I put up quite the fight when my foster mom would try to pick me up but then once I was in her arms I would fall asleep so I don't think she took my sass very seriously. After a few days I decided the world wasn't so bad and now I love getting held and pet and loved on by everyone I meet. Like my sister, Im a pretty quiet, my foster mom has only ever heard me meow once- other wise I do silent meows too!
My sisters and I have a mild form of Cerabellar Hypoplasia! Whats that you ask? CH is a non contagious, non life threatening neurological condition that effects cat’s walking and balance. It doesn't get worse with age, it doesn't require us to have extra vet care, it doesn't even cause us pain or shorten our life spans. CH cats live normal and happy lives! There are different severities of CH and ours is quite mild. We walk a little funny, like our back legs are going at a different pace then our front legs, we sometimes fall over when we are playing or running, when we get excited during food time or while playing with a wand toy we look like little bobble heads and whenever we get pet we fall into the pet real hard and end up laying down! Our foster mom finds all of these quirks to be super adorable and says its going to be real tough letting us go but will when she finds the perfect family for us!
There are a few things you can do to help CH cats get around easier. For example having carpet or rugs down so we have better traction can help us balance easier, having low entry and high sided litter boxes (we don't have any litter box issues though), having raised food and water bowls and of course always keep us as inside cats. We have never tried stairs but stairs can be hard for some CH cats so living in a stair free home might be better for us.
Little Carmine is a young kitten and would like to be adopted with her sister Adrianna that she is very close to.
Note: LIttle Carmine is available for pre-adoption. You can meet her in her foster home now, however, since she has yet to be spayed or tested for FeLV/FIV, she cannot go home until after he recovers from her surgery and has been tested (which will be in a few weeks).
Come visit me in my foster home. I'd love to meet you.
To learn more about this kitten, call Joan at 651-705-6264.
The adoption fee for a kitten is $135. If you adopt a pair of kittens from Feline Rescue, the total adoption fee is $250.
