Urgent: Ch babies need a home

[MomKitty]

I am the foster mom for Rainie and Stormie who are up for adoption through the Fredericksburg, Virginia SPCA.

http://www.fburgspca.org/AdoptCat.htm

They have cerebellar hypoplasia (CH)and need extra special love and care. Finding a home for them has been very difficult because they need extra care. They are 7 months old, both boys, and the plain fact is:

IF I CAN'T FIND A HOME FOR THESE PRECIOUS BOYS, THE SPCA WILL DEEM THEM UNADOPTABLE AND THEY WILL BE DESTROYED.

Please help me find a home for them. They need to be adopted together because they have developed a very symbiotic relationship. CH is a neurological disorder and they cannot walk and have no sense of balance. However, they are smart, adaptable, loving, gentle, and sweet beyond measure.

I cannot adopt them because I live in a rental property. The landlord has very graciously allowed me to foster small animals, but she is emphatic that I cannot add any more permanent pet babies to the family.

If you know of or are a very special someone who can love these boys and definitely be loved very much in return, please let me know ASAP. I love these guys to pieces and I cannot even begin to bring myself to think about the very real possibility that they will be put down if I cannot find a home for them. If you can help, I will take care of transportation within 150 miles of Fredericksburg, Virginia. I will also cover the adoption fee with the SPCA. I will also see that they are supplied with a case of their favorite food, puppy pads, bedding, and toys. I will also provide phone support for as long as their furever family needs it.

PLEASE HELP. THEIR LIVES DEPEND ON IT.

Thank you.

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.

Anybody hear anything recent about these babies?
