You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.
Frisco is a handsome Snowshoe Siamese mix kitten that is very active and loves to run and play. He is a special needs kitten as he has cerebellar hypoplasia which
is a developmental condition in which the cerebellum of the brain fails to develop properly causing him to have

jerky and

uncoordinated walking. The cerebellum is the portion of the brain that controls fine motor skills, balance, and coordination. The condition is not painful or contagious and cats with it usually have a normal life span. There is no treatment for it.

Cerebellar hypoplasia most commonly occurs when a pregnant cat becomes infected with

feline panleukopenia virus

and
the kitten is exposed to the virus during pregnancy or soon after birth. Frisco had panleukopenia and survived it so he will likely have immunity for life. Despite his condition, he is a very active cat which you can see in the videos on his profile. As he was isolated from other kittens for several weeks, he did not get the normal kitten socialization so he plays rough and can bite or nip but his foster home is working on correcting that. If adopted to a house with other cats, he will need one that is bigger than him who will not put up with his bad manners. He will need to be kept inside always and is not a good choice for a household with small children.

Estimated DOB:4/3/22

Adoption fee: $80 (6% KY sales tax included)
