Baby Ruth

Ruthie is constantly impressing us and learning to do new things. She was born with CH or Cerebellar Hypoplasia which is the under development of the cerebellum and this affects a cat's balance and coordination. Her CH is very mild and she can do everything her "normal" sister Candy does, just with her unique spin! Cats with CH tend to become more and more capable as they age. She originally came to us when she was 7 days old. As Ruthie ages, she builds muscles and learns coping techniques to help her navigate more smoothly. Cats with mild CH like Ruthie can have a very normal and happy life! CH is not progressive and it doesn't impact a cat's life expectancy. She may walk a little crooked and benefit from soft sided silicone bowls to keep her from chipping a tooth, but other than that she is a happy, loving gal who uses a litter box and likes to snuggle on the couch!  The ideal adopter is familiar with caring for special needs pets and/or willing to make a few special accommodations (like padding sharp corners and including a baby gate at the stair case).  A single story home without animals that will chase or harass Ruthie is ideal. Her beautiful medium-haired sister Candy would like to be adopted with Ruth as her BFF and emotional support cat. This duo should be indoor only kitties, but they'd love a catio to sunbathe in.
