Meet Hammie | Rehome With Love

Hammie is just that, a ham!

Hammie is warm cuddle bug and a sassy talker. We adopted him when we was about 1 year old (he is now about 8 years old) without knowing he had cerebral hypoplasia. His condition is not too severe, but we do keep his claws long so he can more easily navigate his world. He is an incredibly sweet cat but needs his claws to stay balanced. This was workable for a long time, but we recently had a baby and have found it difficult to give Hammie the love he deserves while keeping him separate from our child. We are looking for an adopter who can be patient with Hammie and accommodate his condition. Hammie has a lot of love to give and will sit in your lap purring happily for hours at a time if you let him! We have so much love for him and want to see him go to a loving home.
