About Munchkin

Munchkin is a playful, affectionate young cat with a unique story. Once called Sidecar, it’s believed she was injured after falling out of a car engine, which led to road rash and lasting damage to her spinal cord. This affects how she walks—her hind legs wobble, but her front legs have grown strong. She needs help going to the bathroom, but her purr is constant and her love of play is never dampened. Munchkin is fast on her feet and doesn’t let her silly gait slow her down. She’s made great progress with physical therapy and medication, but will require ongoing care to keep improving. Anyone who can provide for her special needs will gain a sweet, fun companion who refuses to be held back by her past. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
