Abandoned kitten with wobbly cat syndrome finds forever home in Oklahoma
- 5 years ago
Meet Jasper, a cute young kitten with a debilitating neurological condition.
Little Jasper had been taken to a rescue centre in Oklahoma, which is where his now-owner Annabelle works.
She soon realised that she couldn’t live without him.
This compilation, filmed over several days in December 2018, shows Jasper walking through Annabelle’s house, playing piano and generally doing all manner of adorable acts, despite his wobbly cat syndrome.
Jasper suffers from cerebellar hypoplasia, which is a condition kittens can develop that affects part of their brain, meaning they will shake when they walk.
Vets believe that Jasper will grow out of it and he is not in any pain.
“Three kittens were dropped off in a box, one feral, one sweet and then Jasper who couldn’t stop shaking," Annabelle said. "I took one look at him and decided I was taking him home. I took him to the vet the next day and found out he had cerebellar hypoplasia.
She added: “There’s a possibility that he can grow out of it, but most likely he will be wobbly for his whole life. He now lives at my parents' house with his best friend, Poe, another tuxedo kitty who had a spinal injury."
