Rescuing a cat with special needs means progress may look a little different than it would for a neurotypical kitty. Celebrating the small wins is important, and sometimes downright adorable.
Baby Corn is a special-needs rescue cat who’s come a long way since being the runt of his litter. Now, this special wobbly kitty is showing off his first meows, and he’s so excited about it, he can’t stand up straight!

Baby Corn has had my heart from the first post. I don’t consider him “special needs” so much as he is just a little guy spreading joy wherever he goes. After months of watching from afar, it’s music to my ears to finally hear his crispy meow (volume up)!
There’s so much to unpack in such a short video because, as always, Corn brings the cuteness overload like no other. If it’s not the wobbly boy going about his business while walking toward Mom, it’s the falling over at the mere sight of Dad. He literally can’t contain his joy, toppling over for those he loves (be still, my heart)!
It’s not just me who is obsessed with the sweet cat; I’m in good company. Everyone loves his wobbly ways.
“He meows EXACTLY like I expected, TBH,” one fan wrote. “The best way to start the day, seeing Baby Corn,” another praised. “He’s so scary with his rawr,” another added.

Baby Corn Is a Movement
Though Mom Christine Ha (@whiskstowhiskers) has a long history of fostering cats, Baby Corn stole everyone’s hearts instantly. Between his “little cicada meows,” his megaphone mouth, and gigantic eyes half the size of his head, he’s, as one person described, “the goodest wobbliest baby,” and I concur!
For a cat once smaller than a soda can, Corn sure is bringing it. He recently even gave catnip a go, and it was a hit. He’s got some cool new breakdancing moves because of it!
Baby Corn’s wobbles have major healing powers, but now that he’s found his voice, who knows what he’ll conquer next. I, for one, can’t wait to find out!
