About Daphne

Daphne is a striking brown domestic short hair who moves through life with both independence and warmth. Living with moderate cerebellar hypoplasia, or "wobbly cat syndrome," Daphne needs a home without stairs and with plenty of rugs and carpet runners to help her navigate safely. She thrives on routine—especially when it comes to mealtimes shared with a patient human companion. A soft cubby is a must; Daphne loves to retreat to quiet nooks and watch the world go by. She manages her challenges with grace, showing every day that a wobbly gait is no barrier to affection. Her self-reliant nature, paired with a real fondness for gentle attention, gives her a memorable presence. Daphne gets along well with both dogs and cats, but she’d do best in a home without children. If you make space for her cubby and her sunny spirit, Daphne will fill your days with low-key comfort and a reminder that every creature has their own way of shining.
