🚨TO ALL NEW HUMAN ADOPTERS!!! 🚨

🚨The "rule of 3" for animals, also known as the 3-3-3 rule, is a guideline for helping newly adopted pets adjust to their new homes. It outlines three key phases: the first three days, three weeks, and three months, each representing a different stage of the pet's adjustment process.

🚨Here's a breakdown:

First 3 Days:
This is a period of decompression where the pet is likely overwhelmed and stressed by the new environment. They may hide, be cautious, or show signs of anxiety. It's crucial to provide a safe and quiet space, limit interactions, and let them adjust at their own pace.

First 3 Weeks:
The pet starts settling in, exploring their surroundings, and becoming more comfortable. Their true personality may start to emerge, but they may also exhibit some behavioral issues as they test boundaries. This is a good time to start basic training and establish routines.

First 3 Months:
The pet is generally feeling more at home, comfortable with their environment, and building trust with their new family. This phase involves continued socialization, training, and exposing them to various experiences to solidify their bond and routines.

❤️❤️❤️ TRUST THE PROCESS AND DO NOT RUSH IT!!! You WILL be rewarded in the end!

😻🩷😻 Meet MARGO WOBBY! 😻🩷😻

🩷 Margot is a lovely kitty; sweet, friendly, and a big purr box who loves attention and being petted. Her Wobbly Cat Syndrome does not have any effect on her health or happiness. She is estimated to be about 2 years old but we aren't sure of her exact birthday. She loves to sleep under a blanket and peep out when you call her!

😻 Cerebellar Hyperplasia (Wobbly Cat Syndrome) is a feline disorder which is caused by the cerebellum not fully developing in utero. The condition does not improve or worsen and is not painful. It does not shorten a cat's lifespan, so we expect Margot to have a long and happy life in her new home. She has not been spayed, but a wonderful friend of the shelter paid the medical bills to confirm her condition, update her rabies vaccination, and have her tested for FELV/FIV - she is negative!

🩷 She is mobile and uses her litter box on her own. Margo REQUIRES elevated food and water dishes to make eating and drinking easier and enjoys being fed "churo" type treats!

😻 We ask that her adopter be someone familiar with this syndrome and who has a home that will fit her needs. She CANNOT use stairs, for example.

🩷 We look forward to finding just the right home for this sweet girl! 😻

📸😻 Below are some photos of Margot & I will upload a video separately. 🩷🩷
