My story

Meet Rollie Pollie & Bella – The Wobbliest, Sweetest Pair You’ll Ever Love 🐾💗 If you’ve ever wished for joy in its purest, fluffiest form… may we introduce you to Rollie Pollie and Bella—two irresistible kittens who wobble through life with bravery, playfulness, and more heart than we know how to describe. These two tiny adventurers were born with cerebellar hypoplasia (CH), a non-progressive neurological condition that affects balance and coordination. In other words: they wobble. They tip over. They sometimes somersault unintentionally. But here's the magic—they get back up, every single time, with tails high and spirits even higher. At just a few months old, Rollie Pollie (male) and Bella (female) can’t walk in a straight line yet, but they’re getting better and stronger every single day. We watch them practice their pounces and refine their zigzag walk with so much determination it could melt the hardest heart. And don’t be fooled by their wobbles—these two LOVE to play. Wand toys, balls, cardboard boxes—if it moves (or doesn’t), it’s fair game. Their clumsy chases and sideways somersaults are equal parts hilarious and heartwarming. Their condition isn’t painful or contagious. In fact, CH cats are often healthy in every other way and have the same life expectancy as any other cat. They just require a little extra understanding, a bit more patience, and a home where falling down is no big deal—because they always get up again. Caring for CH Cats: 💙 No stairs or high ledges they could fall from (baby gates and soft landings help!) 🛋️ Carpet or rugs give them traction and make playtime easier 🧼 Non-slip food and water bowls (or shallow dishes) help reduce spills 🧸 Litter box hacks: Low-entry, high-sided boxes with easy access keep things tidy 🎾 Playtime-friendly: Keep toys within reach—they’ll do the rest! ❤️ Most importantly: A human who celebrates progress, not perfection Despite their challenges, Rollie Pollie and Bella don’t feel sorry for themselves—and neither should you. They’re bursting with personality, snuggles, and joy. Rollie Pollie is a little goofball with a clumsy confidence that makes him endlessly lovable, while Bella is a gentle sweetheart who watches everything with wide, curious eyes before joining the action with a tumble and a squeak. They are closely bonded, having grown up relying on each other for warmth, support, and encouragement. We are looking for a home that will adopt them together, because they are truly each other's comfort and courage. These kittens are looking for: 🌿 A loving, low-stress home that accepts them exactly as they are 🏡 Someone who will kitten-proof their world to keep them safe and happy 🐾 Patience, soft landings, and a good sense of humor (you’ll be giggling a lot) 🫶 A heart big enough to embrace wobbles, wiggles, and so, so much love CH kittens like Rollie Pollie and Bella aren’t broken. They’re brave. They’re beautiful. They’re here to teach you that perfection isn't the goal—joy is. Adopt this special duo and give them the chance to keep growing, thriving, and loving—one wobbly step at a time. 🐾💕 You won’t just change their lives. They’ll change yours.

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Rollie Pollie, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
