Meet Rafiki  — Wobbly, Wonderful, and Full of Heart

Rafiki has CH, which stands for feline cerebellar hypoplasia—a condition where the cerebellum is underdeveloped. What does that mean for Rafiki? A little wobble, a little sway, and a whole lot of charm.

CH causes unsteady movements, so Rafiki may look a bit uncoordinated as he walks or plays. What it doesn’t cause is pain, weakness, or a shortened life. Rafiki has the strength to walk, eat, use the litter box, and enjoy all the things cats love—he just needs a bit of help with balance.

Cats like Rafiki don’t know they’re different. They’re happy, affectionate, playful, and incredibly resilient. Rafiki loves being held like a baby.  With a safe, loving home (think soft landings and cozy spaces), Rafiki will thrive and reward you with endless affection and inspiration.

If you’re looking for a special cat who will steal your heart and remind you every day that different can be beautiful, Rafiki is ready to meet you.
