About Ethan

Meet Ethan, a little boy with a mighty heart. Ethan has Cerebellar Hypoplasia, a condition affecting his coordination and balance. In his case, the CH is severe; he cannot walk and has very limited mobility. However, don’t let his wobbly world fool you—Ethan possesses a huge personality, indomitable spirit, and a heart that's all in. He eats independently and takes great pride in it. Ethan enjoys cozy, soft spaces and absolutely loves being near his people. While he experiences life differently, he still seeks connection, comfort, and love just like any other kitten. He adores being held, petted, and cuddled. Ethan needs a dedicated caregiver who can see his spirit and not just his challenges. He will require some assistance with hygiene and bathroom care, currently using pee pads. Ethan isn't an "easy" kitten, but he is certainly extraordinary! For the right person, the kind who believes that different doesn’t mean less, Ethan may just be your boy. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
