In Virginia, a kitten was recently handed to the Animal Welfare League of Arlington (AWLA). Her hair was matted, she was caked in grease and muck, and her health was in jeopardy. An AWLA volunteer greeted her and gave her the name Roberta.
Despite the fact that the tabby kitten was supposed to be grouchy, she turned out to be a lovely ball of fur who welcomed the attention. Asa had the following to say about it:
“He walked up to me right away and began purring, even approaching the resident dogs to say hello.” Despite her bad health, she was incredibly affectionate and trustworthy with people.”
She was treated at the rescue facility, where she was given a soothing bath and all of the essential tests were performed. Cerebellar hypoplasia (CH), often known as unsteady cat syndrome, was found in Roberta.
This disease causes her to stumble when walking, but it doesn’t stop her from being a tough and stubborn kitty that won’t let anything get in the way of having fun.
“Chain jerky, wobbling movement is caused by an underdeveloped cerebellum, the region of the brain that regulates coordination and balance.
“It doesn’t hurt them, and cats with CH may live as long as cats who aren’t affected,” Asa explained.
When the beautiful feline came at her new foster home, she quickly made friends with a rescue dog named Kona, who is a fuzzy cat that adores cats. She greeted the new member of the family with loving kisses as soon as she noticed him.
“In classic Kona manner, she dashed into her carrier the moment we arrived home, and Roberta seemed unfazed,” Asa added.
Surprisingly, the lovely cat was highly open to her canine friend’s demonstrations of devotion and fell in love with them. They established a lovely connection with purring and tender cuddles.
Roberta awoke with high eagerness and a strong longing for affection after a long night of sleeping soundly and feeling safe:
“She received a complete spa treatment and immediately felt like herself!” “She felt lot more confident in general after that,” Asa added.
During the kitten’s rehabilitation, the other furry inhabitants in Asa’s care appeared to realize that her new buddy needed a lot of affection, so they approached her to offer her friendship, even taking turns sharing. Asa had this to say about it:
“I believe Kona and the other furballs worked together; everyone has been extremely friendly to her, even though she is ‘different,’ and I believe they have helped her feel at ease and at home.”
