Meet Kiri: A Little Wobbly, a Whole Lot of Love

 

Hello, my name is Kiri, and I’m a sweet girl looking for my forever home!

When I was born, I was diagnosed with Cerebellar Hypoplasia (CH), a non-progressive neurological condition that means I wobble a bit when I walk. It’s a condition I was born with because my mom got sick while she was pregnant with me. You might notice that my back legs are a bit uncoordinated, and some people say it looks like I’ve had a little too much to drink!

The good news is that this condition causes me no pain and will not get worse over time. I don’t require any special medical care or medication. I am a perfectly happy and healthy cat who just walks a little differently. In fact, I’ve taught myself to jump on the sofa and chairs, so I can still get around just fine.

What I lack in balance, I make up for with a huge heart. I love to watch the world go by from a sunny window, but my absolute favorite thing is to lie with people and get all the cuddles I can. I am incredibly affectionate and will fill your home with purrs and love.

I am not pathetic. I am a perfectly happy and healthy cat who just walks a little differently. All I need is a loving home with a family who can see past my wobbly walk and appreciate me for the affectionate, playful girl I am. If you have a soft spot for cats with a unique story, I might be the perfect match for you. Could you be the person who gives me the second chance I deserve?
