Murkin Introduces Seven of Nine Published on Aug 5, 2014 Introducing Murkins Newest foster kitten: Seven of Nine Lives. She has a condition called Cerebellar Hypoplasia, which affects her coordination but not her quality of life. For more information, scroll below. ABOUT SEVEN: This little kitten is a fighter, and had already used two of her nine cat lives when she came to us, hence the name Seven. She was born with a condition called Cerebellar Hypoplasia, which is caused when the mama kitty gets infected with a virus while pregnant. Seven and her Mama were living as strays in deplorable conditions, and she was the only kitten in her litter to survive the first few weeks. Around 6 weeks of age, her mama kitty tried to relocate Seven to higher grounds, and unfortunately Seven lost her balance and took a wild tumble off the roof of a good samaritan. She was taken to the nearest vet, who just so happened to be Murkin’s mom, who immediately fell in love with her and wanted to help. ABOUT HER CONDITION: Basically, her brain lacks the ability to coordinate fine motor control. However, the rest of her brain and body function normally. In fact, she has no idea shes any different! She is able to eat, drink, and play like a normal kitty. She has a normal lifespan and requires no special medical care. Seven is staying with her friends Murkin and Wobblepants until we can find her a loving home. She can navigate around the house on hardwood floors, but would do best in a house with at least one room of carpet (or lots of soft rugs). Despite having a lot of balance issues, she has never missed the litterbox once. She is a very special kitty and deserves a second chance at life. She will be spayed and fully vaccinated prior to adoption. If you are interested in adopting her, please send us a message. ABOUT MURKIN: Murkin is a shelter dog! He was born in 2003 and we think he is a great pyrenees/lab/golden retriever/australian shepherd mix. I adopted him from our local shelter when he was about 6 months old. He is very calm and patient, and he loves to hang out and play with other animals, especially cats and kittens. I foster kittens for our local animal shelter, if you click on my youtube channel you will find lots of videos of Murkin and all the kittens we have fostered over the years. ABOUT RUPERT GILES WOBBLEPANTS: Rupert Wobblepants is a very special kitten that Murkin and I adopted. He has a condition called Cerebellar Hypoplasia. Its caused by a virus that infected his mother while she was pregnant, and it causes the cerebellum part of the brain to not develop properly. This causes the affected kittens to be clumsier than usual, but it causes them no pain. He also has a congenital heart defect, which we are currently in the process of treating. He was originally found abandoned in a cardboard box in front of a cat clinic. A technician there with a warm heart bottle fed him and nursed him back to health. They were having a hard time finding him a home so they contacted me to see if I could help them spread the word about this special boy. I fell in love with him instantly.
