From Give Me Shelter Project

DOB: 12/31/25. Male Newton is a “Happy Wobbler”! He is a little cautious but very playful. He was born with a condition called Cerebellar Hypoplasia (CH) which is known as “Wobbly Cat Syndrome”. He has a very mild case; it is a non-progressive neurological condition that affects his balance. It isn’t an illness, does not cause Newton pain, and is not contagious. He is just a little off-balance sometimes! Because of his CH, certain concessions need to be made in the home - no stairs , sharp edges, leaving Newton on a bed which he may jump off and get hurt. His foster mom will be able to tell you more and answer any questions! Newton would love a home with lots of rugs/carpets to help Newton keep his grip. We hope to find a family who sees that being “wobbly” just means having a little extra character! An ideal family for Newton would have experience with special needs cats and perhaps have a playful, young cat already in the home. ***Newton is a Broadway SUPERSTAR! Bebe Neuwirth fell in love with him at NYC's Broadway Barks this weekend and brought him onstage!! He did great!!

In the rescue's own words, as they published it.
