About Ember SPECIAL NEEDS

Meet Ember, a delightful lap cat whose spirit shines brighter than ever despite her challenges. This young lady defies the odds as a double amputee, having lost her hind leg and a chunk of her tail. Found by a caring woman, Ember made her way to a loving foster home where she blossomed into the affectionate companion you see today. Her personality is absolutely charming: she greets you like a little furry concierge with a sweet, Chewbacca-like meow. Enjoying snuggles comes naturally to her, and if there's a lap available, it's destined to be claimed by Ember. A delightfully curious cat, she's always ready to pounce on a ribbon toy or explore the world around her, even with her few physical limitations. Ember thrives on companionship; she gets along well with cats and is particularly fond of dog friends who enjoy her cuddly nature. She's not particularly food-driven, preferring affection over treats. As a playful chap, she can still manage jumps onto chairs or couches, showing her resilience. This loving lap cat does require a bit more care due to her disability, which includes needing diaper changes a few times a day. Therefore, Ember's ideal home would be one where someone works from home or is around most of the time to give her the love and attention she deserves. Her fosters are even ready to discuss flexible arrangements like shared custody or long-term fostering to ensure she finds a perfect match.
