Catherine Zeta Curl ("Zeta") |
Zeta is a very special calico girl with special needs. She was born in May of 2019. Zeta is or handicapped kitty. I will need to add video as well as still photos of Zeta when I have her videos and still photos ready to upload to this site.

Zeta is free to THE RIGHT home.
This is Zeta when she was just 2 months old. Zeta had an accident when she was a kitten where she injured her back. Because she was the last of a bloodline from a cat we named Buttercup, we had hoped with chiropractic help, we could fix the problem so we could continue that bloodline with kittens from Zeta. Even our vet said she was probably ok to carry kittens. But ultimately, we decided not to take a chance that the weight of the kittens on her back would be too much for her so we had her spayed. She's a super sweet cat who just can't seem to get enough attention and appreciates any attention she does get from us. She gets along ok with all the other cats in the house, but she prefers to keep her distance from several of the more territorial girls. We would really like to see her go to a home where she will get all the love and attention she can absorb and where she won't feel threatened by other pets in the home.
Zeta's back appears to be stronger now. Either that, or her muscles are compensating for the back weakness. We think she might have injured her back crawling through a small opening under our dishwasher. We tried blocking the hole for years, but the adults took all of our attempts to block the opening as a challenge to remove whatever we did... that's an American Curl for you. CFA just did an online training for judges on the American Curl. The judge who conducted the training commented several times about how smart the American Curl is. She said she has one AC who figured out how to open every door in her house at 4 months of age. Curls are known for how affectionate they are, but also how smart they are. (BTW, we've decided not to let our babies downstairs anymore until they are older. There's just too much trouble for them to get into and we have plenty things upstairs to entertain them. Our house is basically a kitty Disneyland.)
When Zeta hurt her back, she must have injured her left eye too because she has a large foggy spot that covers much of the pupil. It doesn't seem to be a problem to her though. I don't know how much Zeta sees out of that eye. We've tried to see if it's problem for her, but it doesn't seem to be. She gets around just fine. And if it moves, she's going to chase it! She loves to play.
Boy! I was heartbroken when we decided to have her spayed. I would have loved to be able to continue those colors in this bloodline. Buttercup was just as pretty. We kept Zeta to continue Buttercup's bloodline and genetics when we rehomed Buttercup. BTW, Buttercup's new family ADORES her.
I really need to get some video for you if you are at all interested in Zeta. She can't jump up on chairs and the bed like the other cats. She just doesn't have the control of the back legs like the other cats. She jumps up and pulls herself up with her front legs. She runs and plays fine... but I need a video to show you how she doesn't have the same control of her back end . We had a cat chiropractor out to work on her when she was younger (and yes! there is such a thing). He cost a fortune though, and even though it seemed to help a little, it was VERY LITTLE. Zeta is such a sweetie, if we never find a new home for her, it won't bother us at all. She's a doll to have around... we just think if she was in a home with less competition for attention, she would be happier.
