Meet Sebastian! This little cutie is a five month old male kitty who is special needs, as he was diagnosed with cerebellar hypoplasia (CH). Luckily, his case is mild and only causes him some subtle head tremors and a funny walk. It doesn't affect his quality of life at all - he eats great, uses the litter box with no issues, and still runs around playing! His brother Seymour is very outgoing and adventurous, but is always looking out for Sebastian.

Adoption fees are $150 per cat, but to keep Sebastian and Seymour together, we are asking for $250 for both cats
What's cerebellar hypoplasia (CH)? Also known as CH and wobbly cat syndrome, CH is a neurological disorder that causes sudden jerky movements, uncoordinated motion and loss of balance. In a CH cat, the brain does not develop properly. This can happen when the pregnant mother has feline panleukopenia virus (feline distemper) and passes the virus along to her unborn offspring. CH is neither contagious nor painful.
There are three levels of CH severity: mild, moderate and severe.
* Mild-level CH cats require little to no additional care. They may have subtle head tremors when nervous or scared, lose balance occasionally, have the wide “tent” or “A”-like gait but can still do things a normal cat does, such as climb, jump, run and walk.
The CH diagnosis is typically based on clinical signs. An MRI may show a smaller than normal cerebellum. There is no cure or treatment for CH because it is a lack of development of the brain while the kitten is growing. CH will not affect the lifespan or quality of life of your cat. Clients can still safely spay and/or neuter cats with CH. (credit: https://bluepearlvet.com/medical.../nobodys-purr-fect/)
