About Independance
Meet Miss Independance, a gentle, unforgettable soul who takes her name seriously. She lives with cerebellar hypoplasia—often called “Wobbly Cat Syndrome”—which gives her a unique, endearing gait and some head bobbing when she’s intent on something. Her balance won’t win medals, but her heart will. None of this slows her down: she plays, explores, and gives affection in her own charming way, and watching her make her way around is as quietly inspiring as it is heartwarming. Every little win is a testament to her determination. Independance needs a thoughtful, safe home—ground level living only, with no dangerous drops, stairs, or tall perches. She’d also do best with friendly cats who won’t pick on her, since she can’t defend herself as easily. Expect to offer soft surfaces, accessible resources, and a steady routine. In return, she offers quiet resilience and deep, honest companionship. Bring her home if you appreciate uniqueness and want a cat who will repay your care tenfold. Lets make it official, apply to adopt!
