Suzi Langer is a vet tech with a soft spot for specially-abled cats. Just a few hours into fostering her first cat with Cerebellar Hypoplasia (CH), a neurological condition that affects balance and coordination, she was hooked. Now Suzi and her kitty, Bifford, are on a mission to educate people and advocate for cats with this non-progressive condition.
Stacy and Suzi discuss muscle memory, busting stigmas around specially-abled pets, and the unexpected benefits of adopting a cat with CH. Suzi’s website provides resources and tools to make veterinary visits and everyday life more friendly for kitties with CH and their people.
Get to know Suzi’s self-described “blended house of misfit toys,” including Bifford, on Instagram, Facebook, or her website.
