This week the spotlight is on Ninja, a two-year-old male mixed breed. Ninja is a furry ball of love and energy, with a particular love for parkour. His bouncing may not earn him an Olympic gold medal, but he will certainly win a gold medal in your heart! Ninja is a big sweetheart who is always ready for an adventure. He would love to meet any dogs that you may have, though he has a very strict no-cats policy and cannot go to a home with any small animal due to his high prey drive. He needs a home with structure and would love a home that is looking to do sport training. Come and meet this adorable bundle of energetic love who is ready to add lots of smiles and laughter to your life!

Our next star in the spotlight is Muzzy. She is one year old and a black & white domestic shorthair. Muzzy is the sweetest, most adorable cat you will ever meet! When you first meet her, you may be taken aback by the wobbly appearance of her neurological condition called Cerebellar Hypoplasia, but this condition does not cause Muzzy any pain so no need to be worried. She will wobble her way over to you for pets and affection. She is very determined and will try to do everything any other cat would do. Because of this, Muzzy is a bit of a fall risk, especially from high places like cat trees. She resides in our Kitten Room because she cannot fall from any high places there, as she will try to climb if she is given the opportunity. We recommend anyone who is interested in adopting Muzzy to do your own thorough research on CH, so you can ensure that your home is a safe space for this wobbly cat!
