About Willow ^^Dandy Cat Rescue^^
🐱🐱 $120 adoption fee negotiable 🐱🐱
Dandy Cat rescue would like to introduce Willow!!
Willow has been through a lot in her short life so far. She was handed in to a local vet after being found alone and unable to fend for herself. It was obvious right away that things weren’t quite right with her as she was not able to stand on her back legs, and her back half would flop to the ground (see video in this profile).
We took Willow to our vet and she was diagnosed with a rare condition known as cerebellar abiotrophy, a genetic neurological condition which affects her balance and coordination. While there is no cure for this condition Willow is not in pain, and is otherwise as healthy as any other kitten.
We immediately fell in love with this plucky little girl, and she loved being in foster care. She was safe and food was in regular supply, and Willow soon let us know just how active and capable she really is.
Don’t be fazed by Willow’s wobbles – because Willow certainly isn’t! There is so much this special little angel can do. Willow is a very determined kitten, and although it can be a little confronting when you first see her getting about, the last thing she wants is pity.
Willow doesn’t require anything different than any other kitten except possibly a home without stairs. And she will need to be an indoors-only cat to be kept safe from predators, cars etc.
Willow is perfectly litter trained, she enjoys her food and most of all she loves company – human, other cats and her foster carer’s dog. Willow is a confident and sweet girl who enjoys her cat naps as well as cuddles. She is able to get about quite easily and can climb up on to the bed to sleep as well as get up on other perches to lay in the sun or curl up somewhere warm and cozy.
Willow has been desexed, vaccinated and microchipped and is now ready to be adopted. We are happy for potential adopters to meet with our vet to answer any questions you might have about her ongoing care.
Willow just needs someone to take a chance on her and look past her wibbly wobbly ways. She is an adorable, sweet-natured and gentle girl who has solid inner strength and a huge capacity for love.
Located in Noble Park North.
