I just received this e-mail from her:

Thanks for the info. The vet says she has a neurological condition
that was probably caused by her being hit by a car or some other
trauma. She didn't use the scientific term for it.

Wobbles lives inside our house, she CANNOT be left outside
unsupervised (as in we could take her for walks on a leash and
harness,) but because she is declawed, and she cannot walk normally,
she would be a tasty snack for the next predator that comes along. She
had to spend some significant time in the bathroom isolated from our
cats, because they pick on her. She has no ability to defend herself.

I've gotten two people already who are interested in Wobbles, which is
a good sign for me. I really hope I can find her a home before I move.
It would be abysmal to move cross-country with her and the other three
cats in our car.

Sorry I don't have a camera or picture.

It's really scary that someone take free cats and sell them to labs.
I'm not quite sure how an application would weed those out, but
references sound like a good idea. I'm not one of those people who
think that you NEED shots, (I don't get mine) but I agree that vet
care will be essential for Wobbles.

Thanks again,
Mela

And Her response to that e-mail:


The vet said she might have difficulty jumping up, (true, she needs
help getting onto our bed) and that she should not be left outside,
but nothing else about her difficulties. She uses the larger,
lower-down catbox without difficulty, as long as our other terrors
don't corner her under the bed. What other problems could she have?

She was super-pitiful when we took her in, so skinny I could wrap one
hand around her middle, thumb to pinky, a flea collar wrapped around
her neck and under her armpit on one side. She couldn't walk with it
there, only shuffle slowly and look pitifully. This is why I didn't
really want to send her back to the original owner, the bastard almost
killed her already.
