Adopt Schumann and Wagner 💗 Please share their post so they can find their forever families before the new year!!

Schumann and Wagner are 4 month old domestic shorthair black tabby females with cerebellar hypoplasia (CH). Please read the entire profile as they have special needs. Their condition will not progress or cause their life to be any shorter than any other kitten, it just makes them a little extra special.

Meet Schumann and Wagner, a dynamic duo of feline charm! These kittens are the embodiment of sweetness and friendliness, always ready to greet their human friends with a playful swat or a gentle nudge. Their curious nature keeps them on their toes, exploring every nook and cranny with a brave heart. They’ll keep you entertained with their goofy antics and smart tricks. Their energy is infectious, and their cuddly moments are heartwarming. Loyal to a fault, Schumann and Wagner are looking for a forever home where they can share their boundless love and joy. Adopt Schumann and Wagner and experience the unique bond of a lifetime.

Schumann and Wagner have something called cerebellar hypoplasia which is a congenital condition affecting the part of their brain responsible for motor function. Long story short, it causes cats to be uncoordinated and wobbly, which does not stop them from being able to do anything a cat needs to do. They love to play and wrestle together and are able to eat just fine. They are using the litter box with no troubles while at rescue and in their foster home. Each of the kittens have varying degrees of the signs of cerebellar hypoplasia.

Schumann and Wagner are very sweet and affectionate girls. They would be best paired and adopted together or to a home with a young cat friend they can bond to.

Schumann and Wagner are spayed, vaccinated with FVRCP, and are microchipped. They will need their rabies vaccine when age appropriate which will be the responsibility of their adopters. The adoption fee for a single kitten is $300 and $550 for a pair. If you are interested in adopting, please submit an application.

Bach, Wagner, Tchaikovsky and Schumann are still all waiting patiently for their forever families!

Bach is a brown male tabby. Wagner and Schumann are black females and Schumann is a brown female tabby. They are approximately 4 months old.

These kittens have cerebellar hypoplasia (CH). Please read the entire profile as they have special needs. Their condition will not progress or cause their life to be any shorter than any other kitten, it just makes them a little extra special.

Cerebellar hypoplasia is a congenital condition affecting the part of their brain responsible for motor function. Long story short, it causes cats to be uncoordinated and wobbly, which does not stop them from being able to do anything a cat needs to do. They love to play and wrestle together and are able to eat just fine. They are using the litter box with no troubles while at rescue and in their foster home. Each of the kittens have varying degrees of the signs of cerebellar hypoplasia.

We have a veterinary resource on cerebellar hypoplasia which we are happy to send to anyone interested in adopting the composer kittens but wanting to know more first about CH. We recommend speaking with your veterinarian first to know all the ins and outs of adopting a kitten with CH.

They would be best paired and adopted with one of their siblings, who would no doubt make their adoptive new family extremely happy and give them years of laughter, love and fun. All the composer siblings (Wagner, Tchaikovsky, Bach and Schumann) LOVE to wrestle and would greatly benefit from a young cat in the home to play with and learn from. They do not like to be alone and need a furry companion to groom and cuddle with.

Bach is neutered and Schumann, Wagner, and Tchaikovsky are spayed. They are all vaccinated for FVRCP, and are microchipped. They will need their rabies vaccine when age appropriate which will be the responsibility of their adopters. The adoption fee for a single kitten is $300 and $550 for a pair. If you are interested in adopting, please submit an application.

Shockingly, no adoption applications for a Lucky yet! 🍀 Lucky is - very special brown tabby kitten who came to us under unique circumstances. Lucky survived a 10 story balcony fall shockingly with no long-term injuries. He has a wonky front right leg as a result of this fall he had when he was only 3 weeks old. He was hospitalized for several days after the incident before coming into our care. He has received x-rays and very careful veterinary monitoring since then, and we are happy to report that aside from having a funny leg, he is pain free, requires no medical care and can run, play and jump like a normal kitten! He is just extra cute! As Lucky is a special boy, he needs a special home that has another pet companion that can meet his energy levels. In his foster home, he is often found parkouring off of his resident cats bodies and tackling them around the neck and tumbling and playing. As Lucky arrived as a singleton, he has what we call “singleton syndrome”, where he needs to be gently corrected when he nips or bites humans. On the flip side, when Lucky’s energy is exhausted, he is very content to curl up in his foster mom’s neck and purr away until he falls asleep. His cuddle time is very much his choice, and he will let you know if he needs to zoom about instead of relaxing with his people. Lucky is neutered, microchipped, and vaccinated for FVRCP and rabies. His adoption fee is $300. To apply, please submit an adoption application. https://www.dorsetrescuekittens.ca/kitten-application
