Do you know what's better than one wobbly kitten? Two wobbly kittens! Meet Cruller and Fritter. This adorable duo was born with a moderate case of Cerebellar Hypoplasia (CH), which means they wobble when they walk, they fall over often, they stand with their legs splayed in a wide stance for balance, and they need some special accommodations, such as raised food bowls, litter boxes with sides, and carpet or rugs to walk on. CH is not contagious nor painful. It also not progressive. While it cannot be cured, CH kittens learn to adapt to their disability and their motor skills can improve as they grow up. With the assistance of their foster family, they learned to eat on their own, use a litter box, and they love to play in tunnels and chase laser pointers. Since they've been together since birth and have learned to navigate their wobbly world together, Cruller and Fritter are a bonded pair and must be adopted together. They have not had any exposure to other animals or children but with slow introductions, they should acclimate to any household. For safety reasons, a home without stairs would be best for them, as they do not have the balance to navigate stairs without falling down. Because of their special needs, Cruller and Fritter are not in the shelter. They will remain in their foster home until adoption but visits at the shelter can be arranged. Serious adopters can inquire about them through email at foster@vbspca.com.
