Turtle came into foster care at 6 months of age, very small for her age and with significant contractures of all four limbs and severely limited mobility. She was found outside a bar with her able-bodied Mom and brother. Because she was older coming in, most of her deficits were "locked in". She is now just over 1 year-old. Despite her limitations, she is a sweet, interactive girl who loves pets and attention. She has a bit of an independent streak and wants to do things her way. She is able to move short distances on carpet (she needs her nails in order to be mobile). On tile and non-porous floors she is unable to get around. She rolls side to side and onto her back (loves belly rubs). She likes to be brushed and has the cutest purr. Turtle enjoys watching the other cats; however, most check her out and walk away. Her limitations make it hard for her to play. She would be ok with older children who understand her limitations and understand her use of her nails and can adjust accordingly. Turtle hates water; sponge baths are tolerated. She is not incontinent; however, uses washable pee pads for elimination.
