About Arlo

Meet Arlo, the perfect companion for anyone seeking a lap cat without the hassle of a litter box. He's a special needs cat with moderate Cerebellar Hypoplasia (CH), which makes him a bit wobbly on his feet. Because of this, he uses diapers instead of a litter box, which his foster mom says he manages really well. On top of that, he loves lounging with his foster mom on the couch, purring loudly as he enjoys their company. Although Arlo can be vocal with other pets, he's all talk and no trouble. Due to his tendency to give enthusiastic love bites, he's best suited to homes without preteen children. It's crucial that Arlo has a space where he can move freely, ideally with carpet or rugs, as he struggles on slippery floors. Stairs are a no-go for him, but he thrives when given the chance to be an independent, playful cat. If you're interested in making Arlo a part of your family, reach out to his foster mom for more information.
