About The Worm

Meet The Worm, an adventurous little kitten with lots of personality. He enjoys playing and often spends his days chasing pipe cleaners and trying to tackle his siblings. Though he’s the smallest in his litter, he makes up for it with plenty of sass. Just look at that adorable face! The Worm faces some challenges due to cerebellar hypoplasia (CH), which affects his motor control. Born with a brain condition that didn't fully develop, he has a bit of a wobble when he eats and plays, but this doesn’t impact his learning or affection. He does need a few special accommodations for his care, like elevated food and water dishes, soft carpeting for better traction, and an accessible litter setup. Despite these special needs, he's ready to bring joy and excitement to a new home. The Worm is currently in Madison, WI, with his siblings Boot and Narn. If you're interested in giving this lively kitten a loving home, reach out today! They are waiting with paws crossed! Apply now!
