About Kickstand

Kickstand is a young male cat with a vibrant spirit, despite having a mild case of cerebellar hypoplasia (CH). This condition gives him a bit of a wobbly gait, but it doesn't affect his everyday activities. He eats, drinks, and uses the litter box perfectly well; sometimes he just adds a little shimmy to his movement. When he becomes excited, he might lose his balance and tip over, but this is all part of his charm. Initially shy, Kickstand needs a patient adopter who can help him feel secure in his environment. Offering treats and a cozy space is a great way to earn his trust, revealing his playful and affectionate side. He does well with other cats, though he may be apprehensive around dogs. Older kids who understand how to interact gently with cats would be best suited for him. Kickstand is neutered, up to date on vaccinations, parasite-free, microchipped, and FIV/FeLV negative. His neurologic condition isn’t contagious and will remain stable throughout his life, so there are no extra limits on what he can do. Kickstand is in Elkton, MD, waiting for his forever home.
