BOSTON: Cerebellar Hypoplasia kittens need homes

[lvpets2002]

Awee I wish I was closer.. My Heart & Home is always Open for these Precious CH Babies.. As I have Five = Taccoa {Elmer's SweetHeart}, Harley, Zolene, Butterscotch & Marley.. As I say they are God's Gifted Wittle Babies..

Thank you, Mary. I hope these little ones find wonderful homes, like Creamsicle and Elmer and Bob did, too.

I am trying to find out more about them.. how many there are, what they are like, and how handicapped they are. I hear they are being fostered now.

If any of you knows of any other rescue groups to pass this information on to, please do!

Thanks,
Pat

I would guess Tx is out of the question.. I wish we could get Pilots-N-Paws to help here.. I think they only fly out of & into certain states..

I know some people who organize transports of that sort. I don't know if Boston to Texas would be too far or not.

Let me check the Web Site of Pilots-N-Paws & see what their locations of flight into & out are..

Pat I have found a lady pilot that our company {in aviation} supports her airplane & she supports Pilots-N-Paws.. Now I need to know the location of the babies.. Are they in foster at Boston or where?? Then I will work with Patty of a go or not..

Hi Helene, they are being fostered somewhere in the Boston area through the Mass. Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (MSPCA). Website is http://www.mspca.org/ .

The CH kittens are mentioned as follows on this page of the website, about a home being found for a kitten born without back feet! (http://www.mspca.org/about-us/press-...or-kitten.html):

"The MSPCA is currently caring for several animals with impairments including a litter of kittens showing signs of Cerebellar Hypoplasia – a neurologic disorder caused by an infection of Panleukopenia in the pregnant mother (this causes the kittens to be born with underdeveloped cerebella, the part of the brain that controls balance and fine motor movement). The kittens will be further evaluated, diagnosed and have been placed in foster care to learn how to walk."

I can't find anything more on the site about the CH kittens. Probably your best bet to learn more would be to contact them directly and say you are interested in them:
