This handsome 2.5-year-old guy came to Animal Friends from our Humane Investigations Team for having too many cats within the home. Since being here at AF, we noticed him wobbling everywhere he walked. After some testing, our medical team diagnosed Garlic with Myotonia Congenita – which is a hereditary neuromuscular disorder characterized by persistent contraction, particularly during muscle movement. Because of this, Garlic is looking for a home where they will be able to monitor him and give him the assistance he needs with using a litterbox, eating/drinking, and day-to-day activities. His diagnosis has not stopped him from being an absolute sweetheart who loves people and could potentially live with other cats. If you are interested in taking Garlic home as a Hospice Adoption, please fill out out an adoption application below!

Garlic is one of Yana’s “Special” Felines, meaning that his requested adoption donation is underwritten, and his new family will receive a starter kit of supplies and other support based on his unique needs.

Please read our adoption guidelines and start your application before coming to meet one of our cats in person. A typical adoption can take up to an hour. Please visit at least one hour before closing if you plan to adopt that day.

Requested Adoption Donations
Young
5 months or younger | $150
Adult older than 5 months | $100
Senior 10 years or older | $85
Twice as nice! When you adopt two cats from Animal Friends, we only request a single adoption donation.
