Pistol Pete

My story

Meet Pete! This sweet, wobbly 4 year old boy is looking for a forever home that will love and understand his special needs. Pete has a condition called cerebellar hypoplasia, a neurological disorder he was likely born with that affects his coordination and balance. It’s non-painful, non-contagious, and doesn’t worsen over time — it just means Pete has some extra wiggles when he walks and focuses. He eats and drinks just fine on his own and uses a litter box like a pro (as long as it’s high-sided or covered — no automatic litter boxes for this guy). Pete is incredibly friendly and affectionate. He loves to cuddle, nap in cozy spots (cat huts, small crates, the bottom of a cube shelf — he's not picky), and snuggle up in your lap. He’s calm when resting, making him a great movie night companion. He does well with both cats and dogs when introduced slowly and respectfully. He hasn’t been around many children, so we recommend a home without small kids. Not because he isn’t sweet — he absolutely is — but because he uses his claws to stabilize himself, which could accidentally scratch. What Pete Needs: -A covered or high-sided litter box -Weighted or no-spill food/water bowls (like an EZPZ mat) -A quiet, understanding home -Lots of soft blankets and cozy hidey spots -A human (or two!) who appreciates just how special he is Pete may wobble, but he’s steady when it comes to love and loyalty. If you’re looking for a one-of-a-kind companion with a heart of gold, Pete might just be your perfect match.
