Sparks is one of our most special and sweet kittens! He has a condition called cerebellar hypoplasia (CH), or wobbly cat syndrome. CH is a rare neurological disorder that affects a cat's balance and coordination. It occurs when the cerebellum, the part of the brain that controls these functions, doesn't develop properly. He is a totally normal kitten… except he wobbles! Sparks LOVES other cats, especially wrestling with them. It might take him a minute to buddy up with them, but it usually doesn’t take long for him to realize they’re friend material. He’ll fling himself across the room to get to the nearest cat and have a play date. Sparks also does well with cat-savvy dogs, but it’s really important to make sure the canine will be good with sudden, jerky movements. Sparks loves his people most of all. He’ll scream at you for attention, slamming into your shins for pats. He has THE BIGGEST purrs and will show them off when you pet him or pick him up. Sparks is trained to use large washable pee pads, although he has an 80% success rate. He’ll try to cover up his mess too just like a normal cat - he’s so smart! Because of his CH, Sparks needs to be in a one-story home or be kept away from stairs.
