Meet Tash
Tash is a gorgeous 11-week-old kitten with a grey striped base coat and white and ginger patches, with golden, soulful eyes. She loves playing with her siblings and chasing her own tail.
Tash (and her siblings) have Cerebellar Hypoplasia, which means the part of the brain that controls motor function didn’t develop properly. This can happen when mom is exposed to a virus while pregnant, but isn’t a progressive disease; in fact, it may appear that CH kittens get “better” with age and practice. Tash has a mild/moderate form of CH, and can get around quite well—she’s taught herself a wide-legged ‘tripod’ stance and loves to practice her balance by pouncing.
She is a playful kitten who would do well in a home without other cats. The ideal family would have older children or no children, and who have patience as Tash grows stronger and finds her feet. Tash needs no special medical care due to her condition, but may need an adapted litter box/food bowls in order to use these independently.
Tash is not yet spayed. Our vet has recommended that she be spayed closer to 6 months old after she has a chance to grow and develop a little more. ARF will cover the cost of this surgery when she is brought back to our vet for this procedure.
Tash is microchipped and up to date on her vaccines. With your adoption you will receive a certificate for a free exam with one of our veterinary partners. Tash may not be declawed.
Tash's adoption fee is $150. If you are interested in meeting Tash, please fill out our Online Application today!
Once your application has been approved, an ARF volunteer will be able to contact you to arrange a meeting.

If a cat or dog is on our website, it is still available for adoption but might have other applicants. If you find yourself interested in one of our animals, submit a no-commitment application immediately. Submitting an application does not commit you to any animal, but does get you a head start with the adoption approval process. Due to a high volume of applications, we are often unable to respond to questions until your application has been approved in approximately 3-5 business days.
We do not schedule meetings until you have an approved application.
A.R.F.-Animal Rescue Foundation does not have a facility where applicants can visit our animals. The majority of our dogs and cats are brought to adoption events by our volunteers. We invite everyone to come to our events, but we give priority to pre-approved applicants.
If you’re invited to meet an animal:
- Plan to arrive on time (or early), as we cannot hold animals for any reason.
- All human household members and dogs (if adopting another dog), must be present in order to be considered as a potential adopter.
Thank you for your interest and cooperation!
