Eggler is a master Biscuit Maker and a perpetual Purr Machine! She's a really good sport and totally rocks a cowboy hat and bandana (see photos). The girl has style!

Eggler is highly affectionate and loves her people! She will rub against your hands and legs, looking for pets and cuddles. She will settle in for a snuggle and stay there as long as you let her! Simply move a little and she gets the hint, and will scurry off to find another comfy location to continue her catnap. She loves her cuddles but also likes her own space now and then!

She hilariously stalks wand toys, and gets so into it that her head will shake/vibrate a little from excited anticipation! She makes SUCH cute faces and has adorable, playful mannerisms.

You might notice that Eggler is fast! Which is even more amazing, because her back legs are paralyzed, and she propels herself with her front legs and pulls her back legs along behind her. She is like a little kitty rocket ship!

She came to APA! with paralyzed legs from unknown spinal trauma. The trauma also gave her incontinence, which means she can't pee on her own, so she needs her bladder squeezed (aka, "manually expressed") a few times daily to help her go pee. She is a champ and her foster has no trouble expressing her. It's pretty straightforward and APA! will show you how and make sure you are comfortable with it!

Eggler loves other cats that are chill! She gravitated to them when she was in the shelter, and likes the nice cat in her foster home. She would probably love a home with a calm, friendly, and playful cat to be her buddy!

The ideal home for Eggler ideally has a mix of carpet and uncarpeted flooring. The uncarpeted areas allow her to amaze you with her speediness, and the carpet provides good cushion for her when she isn't racing around the house.

Eggler is a beauty with her brown and white tabby coat, big eyes full of mischief, white mittens, and a "secret" brown tabby circle on her tummy! Her incontinence requires some extra care, but it's pretty simple; please contact APA! for more information.

And contact us today to arrange a meet & greet with this rootin'-tootin' gal!

All APA! cats are fully vetted, spayed or neutered, and have updated vaccines and a microchip. Lifetime support is offered by our Cat Behavior Team.
