Hammie is just that, a ham!
Hammie is a loving, snuggly boy with a big personality and a lot to say. We adopted him when he was about a year old (he’s now 8) and later discovered he has a moderate form of cerebellar hypoplasia, a neurological condition that affects coordination. Despite this, Hammie navigates life with confidence, charm, and a bit of sass! We keep his claws long to help him maintain balance, which works well for him, but can sometimes result in accidental scratches.
This sweet cuddle bug absolutely adores string toys and will happily snooze in your lap, purring contentedly for hours. His favorite pastime? Being loved on, and returning the affection tenfold.
Hammie has always been a gentle companion, but with the arrival of our new baby, we’ve found it difficult to give him the focused attention he deserves while also ensuring our child’s safety. We're looking for a compassionate adopter who can provide a peaceful home and is comfortable supporting a cat with special needs.
He has lived with other cats and a dog in the past, and while he mostly kept to himself, he was content and respectful of their space. His new family should ideally be experienced or open to learning about CH (we’re happy to share what we’ve learned!) and be ready to welcome a warm, talkative companion who thrives on connection.
We love Hammie dearly and want to see him thrive in a home where he can be fully himself, quirks, cuddles, and all.
