Meet Cider, a truly special and resilient boy whose spirit shines brighter than any challenge. Born with moderate/severe Cerebellar Hypoplasia (CH), Cider navigates the world with a charming wobble, shaky steps, and the occasional tumble. Despite this, he is full of joy and determination, finding comfort in cozy blankets and gentle pets. He loves cheering himself on with every step and his unwavering positive attitude is truly inspiring to everyone who meets him.
As a Domestic Shorthair mix, Cider embodies the adaptable and affectionate nature typical of many cats. His CH is not painful and will not worsen, simply meaning he moves in his own unique way. To support his mobility, Cider uses a special wheelchair, which helps him explore more comfortably and confidently. He is neutered and ready to find a family who appreciates his special qualities and provides a calm, understanding environment where he can thrive.
Cider is searching for a loving indoor home with soft surfaces, ensuring his comfort and safety during his wobbly adventures. Easy access to his food and litter box is also essential. He would do best with a patient and compassionate family willing to embrace life at a slightly slower, sweeter pace. In return, Cider promises to fill your home with laughter, inspiration, and an unbreakable bond, proving that extra love truly makes all the difference.
