My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Juliette was so underweight when she first arrived that she had to be bottle fed, while her siblings ate on their own. Juliettes CH is quite severe, but dont let that fool you. She has made great strides and is full of determination. She is now normal weight, and can chow down with the rest of them. She has a lot of trouble walking but is now taking more and more steps each day without falling. She props herself up on a pillow to eat and uses the litter box normally. She adores playing and can dart around and play with the best of them. When she falls, she gets herself right back up and NEVER stops purring! The vet expects her to improve significantly as she gets older and we have already seen evidence of improvement. Juliette might need a home adapted to her needs, but the love in store for that family who chooses to adopt her will be endless!!

Make sure to watch Juliette's adoption video!

Cats with CH have underdeveloped cerebellums, the part of the brain which controls balance and coordination. This causes mild to serious coordination problems. These cats may have trouble walking without falling over, have trouble focusing, have head bobbing and walk with a wide gait. They also have no pain, no idea that they are different than other cats and tend to be extremely loving. They have the same lifespan as other cats. The condition does not worsen, in fact with time, it often improves as other parts of the brain compensate. They also learn quickly how to live with their limitations.||
