This adorable tiny tuxie with brain and cervical spine disease is looking for his furever home. 

KATNISS: Snapple, I’m impurressed with the way you’ve defied the odds. 

SNAPPLE: As I always say, “Don’t count meowt!” The vets initially recommended euthanasia fur me, but when my foster meowmy saw what a happy dude I am and what a great quality of life I have, she decided against it. Also, the vets didn’t think I’d be able to use a cart to transpurrt myself around, but I purroved them wrong – the furst time I tried it, I was off and running!

KATNISS: No kitten! You sound purrty independent.

SNAPPLE: Well, I do need to be supurrvised because I’ve been known to topple over. 

KATNISS: That’s good infurmation fur a pawtential adopter to know. What else would you like to tell them about your care?

SNAPPLE: I may be diffurent, but I’m not difficult. I’m fairly easy to care for. I use washable pee pads as a litter box and I have a special feeding station to help me eat. Cleaning up after me is actually purrty easy, too. 

KATNISS: You seem quite purrsonable from what I can tell.

SNAPPLE: Oh, yes! I love to be purrt of the action, so I’d prefur a purrson who enjoys carrying me around and taking me on cat-safe adventures like supurrvised visits to the back yard.

KATNISS: What are some of your favfurite things?

SNAPPLE: When I’m in my cart, I enjoy chasing toes! I love to purr – constantly! I also like hanging out with the Tippy Tuxie Triplets that I live with. They all have Cerebellar Hypoplasia, so they’re very accepting of my diffurences…

SNAPPLE: …I also love Yeowww catnip treats and any other toys I can bite or kick with my hind legs. And food. I love food.

KATNISS: All this talk about diffurences, but you just sound like a regular cat to me. And a happy one at that.

SNAPPLE: >PURR.<
