About Hopper

Meet Hopper! This delightful kitten has a unique charm that comes with his condition, Radial Aplasia, which means he was born missing the radius in his front legs. Sometimes referred to as a "kangaroo cat," Hopper may need special accommodations, but he doesn’t let anything hold him back. He excels at climbing his 8-ft tall cat tree and uses his litter box like a champ, navigating his home with ease. Hopper has a crooked tail and a slightly "leaky" right eye. After a visit to the ophthalmologist, it was confirmed this isn't a medical issue; he just lacks a tear duct in that eye, meaning you'll need to wipe it occasionally. Hopper loves company, especially his brother Skip, a long-haired black and white tuxedo kitten. Priority will be given to adopters interested in keeping both together since they have become inseparable. Hopper has been socialized well with both adult cats and a small dog, making him a friendly addition to any home. Each adoption includes updated vaccinations, deworming, flea treatment, and microchipping. For any further questions, feel free to reach out via email. Ready to fall in love?
