Oakie, the Cat of the Day
Name: Oakie
Age: One year old
Gender: Female
Kind: Domestic Medium Hair
Home: Gladstone, Oregon, USA
 
   Oakie is a very special girl, a precious little "wobbler" who will never be able to walk a straight line. Thanks to her mother having Distemper while pregnant, Oakie suffers from neurological problems called Cerebellar hypoplasia that severely affect her balance, and prevent her from jumping or climbing at all.

    But no one told Oakie she was different, and thanks to the Klamath Falls, OR Friends of Pets, a no-kill cat shelter where she was taken as a "stray", she now can live out a normal life. Oakie joins our several other "special needs" cats & kittens - to us they're just extra special to love. Look at her - could you resist? Her and her "siblings" needs are merely a little different from normal cats - the fact they're missing a leg, are blind, wobbly or deaf is just an excuse to give them some extra love.
