Peyton

Meet our extra special resident Peyton!
This adorable girl isn't your typical kitten... Peyton has been diagnosed with a rare condition called Feline Myotonia Congenita. You may have seen this condition in 'Fainting Goat' videos online.
Myotonia is a genetic mutation resulting in involuntary sustained muscle contraction. There are quite a few clinical signs and side effects associated with this condition however the most prominent is that when they become startled their bodies freeze up their legs become stiff and they faint.
The fainting is usually very brief and doesn't typically require medical attention however it's important that Peyton only go home to a quiet and peaceful indoor environment to help prevent the fainting as much as possible. She should also avoid excessive exercise and her food intake should always be monitored. The good thing is her condition is not progressive and it isn't a severe case.
Peyton is not only super adorable but is such affectionate and loving kitten with a beautiful nature and we don't want to see her grow up in a shelter.
If you have space in your very big heart and your quiet home please come meet this adorable kitten at our Gold Coast Rehoming Centre and have a chat with our team about her condition
