Sterling: Meet Sterling! She’s a charming tabby kitten looking for her forever home! Sterling, lovely personality aside, is unique in more ways than one. She does not have all of her lower vertebrae, which in her case, make it she has different physical and neurological needs from other cats. Ongoing, she will need consistent monitoring, and financially, her adopters should be prepared visits and tests with her adopter’s vet and likely a veterinary neurologist to keep up as her needs change, as she is still a growing kitten. Sterling is a very confident, curious, and playful kitten! Her favorite toys are colorful little springs, and when she’s tired out she loves lounging in a comfy bed. Sterling is a special kitten looking for her people – if she sounds like the kitten for you, come visit her at the shelter!
