Urgent: Ch babies need a home

**Freedom** · 03-12-2011, 05:13 PM

They can't walk, or they can't walk well?

There are several folks on here who have CH babies. Edit your post and put CH BABIES in the thread title.

Yes, please provide more information. I will get it out to people I know from CH mailing lists.

I wish so much I could take them in, but I just took in the two old ladies and I CANNOT take any more at this time.

They can't "walk" per se. They kind of "rock and roll" to get where they want to go. They are just learning to lean in order to stay upright, so I will begin training to a litter box very soon. (Right now, they are trained to puppy pads and do quite well with a little help from mom.) They are alert, very responsive to affection, love to play, and adapt and learn very quickly. The problem was that I didn't get them right away. They had been through two other foster parents before I got them in December, so they are a little bit delayed but are catching up quickly. Here is a link to a picture of both of them:

I have also tried to insert the picture itself, but I'm not sure that is going to work. If you can access the picture, Rainie is the solid gray and Stormie is the gray and white.

They are both so adorable and I would take them in a heartbeat if it was possible. But this is already a household of 2 cats and 2 rambunctious dogs. Hoping that they can find a loving home soon.

Based on what you wrote about their waling "ability" it sounds like they will be able to get around just fine as they get older. (I have a CH guy who is about 1.5 years old).

Please keep us posted on how they are doing and if you find a home for them. If it comes down to a deadline I can try and squeeze two more into my home

but I have a houseful, so if there is someone else out there who can provide them a better home I would be happy for them.

I sent on the message today to several people I know from CH and other handicapped-cats mail lists and e-mail contacts, asking if any of them could adopt these two guys or if they would pass the word further on.

Here's hoping and praying that just the right home turns up! Meanwhile, THANK YOU SO MUCH, EMILY, for offering to take them in if a deadline passes.

Oh goodness, they're so adorable! I have a CH baby and I agree w/Emily that there's a good chance that they'll improve w/time. My CH girl, Creamsicle, couldn't walk at all when I rescued her at 5 weeks old. As time went on, she managed to walk but in circles w/her head swinging from side to side like a pendulum. She's improved so much now that it's difficult to tell that she's a CH baby. I do hope that you're able to find a home for these precious ones and, Emily, thank you so much for the offer of taking them if push comes to shove.
