My name is Ivy! I am a very unique kitten in that I have cerebellar hypoplasia (CH), also known as wobbly cat syndrome. It causes my head to shake and for me to be off balance when I walk. They also think I might have some kind of hip issues, but that would need to be checked out by your vet (I prefer to be picked up under my front legs and not around the back). Even though my CH isn't painful, I do need a home where I have lower cat trees and places to play because of the risk of falling. I'm also not the biggest fan of being picked up, so I won't be your typical lap cat. While you can pick me up and sit with me in your lap for short periods at a time, I really just prefer to play with another cat or kitten in the household. However, with time, I may grow out of this. I love softer kitty toys like mousies and kickers. I am a very happy kitten, but need to be in a household that's quieter. I wouldn't do good with younger kids because I get startled very easily (especially with the monster known as the vacuum). I prefer another home with a playmate as I'm used to foster siblings in my current home. I am currently in a foster home and not at HSNBA, if you are interested in meeting me, please contact the nice folks at HSNBA so they can put you in contact with my foster family to set up a meet & greet. E-mail HSNBA at adoption@hsnba.org, call us at: (830) 629-5287 or stop by and speak with the folks at HSNBA at 3353 Morningside Dr. to get your information sent over to my foster home. My foster family is the best and can give you more information on me.HSNBA lists all animals online from the moment of intake, and our listings are updated automatically every midnight.
