about to be euthanized. Mojo’s legs were
completely stiff and he was unable to walk
at all; we quickly realized that he has a
condition called Cerebellar Hypoplasia. As
we have had a lot of experience in caring
for cats with this condition, we immediately
knew we had to rescue him. Cerebellar hypoplasia
(CH) is a neurological condition
where the brain does not develop properly;
it causes cats to be wobbly when they walk
and sometimes lose balance. In Mojo Jojo’s
case, his condition was extremely severe as
he was unable to walk at all. For the first
couple of weeks, we worked with Mojo
providing physical therapy and stimulation
to try to get him to sit, crawl or even walk.
Becoming friends with Cupid helped tremendously
with his physical therapy, so that one
day Mojo decided he was done with laying
around. Much to the surprise, shock and
delight of all of his caregivers, Mojo Jojo
started walking and even running … because
he can! He loves to snuggle, wrestle and play
with his BFF, Cupid. We would love to see
these two boys get adopted together as we
strongly believe that Cupid was a key factor
with Mojo’s recovery.

that animal. •
“What greater gift than the love of a
cat?”….Charles Dickens
Silly Aster is incredibly affectionate and
is not shy about showing his love towards
his foster mom. He loves wrestling with his
sibling Indigo, but once he spots his favorite
human, he runs over to her and sits on her
lap or perches on her shoulder. Aster loves
giving kisses and getting his tummy rubbed
too. He is an extremely high energy kitten
who loves playtime with his siblings. Due to
his young age and energy level, this adorable
kitty would love to be adopted with one of
his siblings. These siblings have truly bonded
and need to be adopted in pairs only.
Indigo is the observer of the group. He likes
to check out the scene first before pouncing
in on the action and causing chaos. Indigo
loves leaping high into the air for the feather
wand or chasing his siblings throughout the
house. This silly kitty with his very playful
personality will nibble on your toes to get
your attention for pets. Indigo is a curious
kitty who is still very much a mama’s boy to
boot. Due to his young age and energy level,
this adorable boy would love to be adopted
with one of his siblings or his mama.
Cupid was rescued on February 14th
(hence the name) and he has definitely lived
up to his name at our nursery in every way.
Cupid has not met a cat he does not like or
get along with. Whether it is a high energy
kitten, or one of our special needs Powerpuff
girls who cannot stand or walk, or any
kitty in between, Cupid befriends them. He
gives them what they need, whether it’s
a play session, a cuddle nap or nice bath.
Cupid loves humans too and is also sweet
and affectionate with his two-legged friends.
His BFF is Mojo Jojo, who has a mild form
of Cerebellar Hypoplasia. When Mojo Jojo
first arrived at the nursery, unable to walk,
Cupid decided he was going to become
Mojo’s emotional support animal. We believe
it was this very special therapy which Cupid
provided that helped with Mojo’s recovery.
This duo loves to play, wrestle and cuddle
together. We would love to see them find
their forever home together as we think they
are a purr-fect pairing.
Mojo Jojo is our miracle kitty! He was
rescued from the city shelter where he was
