Meet Ziggy, a “Wobbly” but Loveable Young Kitty

Posted in Fundraising

August and September bracelet sales benefit Southern Arizona Cat Rescue. SACR is a foster based 501-C(3) rescue located in Tucson, dedicated to saving the lives of felines in Southern Arizona.

Ziggy came to SACR from Gilbert, AZ when a Good Samaritan became concerned for her well-being. She was seen repeatedly in the middle of the street – a very unsafe place! Ziggy was diagnosed with Cerebellar Hyperplasia (aka “wobbly cat syndrome”) by Dr. Alcott at Tucson Veterinary Specialists. Her case is mild and she gets around pretty well. She’s like any normal kitten, just a little wobbly. She’s expected to have the same lifespan as a cat without this condition.

Ziggy is currently being raised with other cats, dogs, and ferrets. She loves all her furry friends. Her favorite things are toys and food; she will devour a Churu treat! Ziggy does a cute thing where she wags her tail like a dog. She’s a strong little girl and doesn’t let much stop her. Not quite the expert climber yet, but as she grows she may be able to maneuver better. She can climb up to the couch and the second level of the cat tree. Ziggy will spend a few more months with her foster family before she’s given the thumbs up from the neurologist to be spayed and to find her forever home! For now, she’s enjoying all the love from her foster parents and their furry family.  You can keep up with Ziggy’s story by following the SACR Facebook page.

You can help deserving kitties like Ziggy by purchasing one-of-a-kind, handcrafted Beading Divas bracelets.
