My story

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

Leo is the happiest kitten in the world despite that he can't walk and has a cloudy eye. He is an inspiration to us all. He is so happy with what he has and what he can do. So what if other cats can walk and get places faster! He came to us at only four weeks old with his beautiful sister Emma. While it was obvious that something was not quite right with him, it became more apparent with time that he was a CH kitten. Cerebellum hypoplasia is a neurological condition caused when a pregnant kitty gets very ill, usually with distemper, and the cerebellum part of the brain in the kittens still in the womb does not develop properly. There are different degrees from very mild to severe. Leo and Little Man are on the severe spectrum. Leo especially needs help getting to the litter box when he is out of the nursery room. He lets you know when he has to get to the box and off you go carrying him on your shoulders and laying him in the box. He does his business, you pat him dry, he says thank you and he's off again having a blast. Once a routine is set, it's not as hard as it sounds. Leo is intelligent. What he lacks in coordination, he makes up in self-awareness. He is fearless and loving! He likes to FaceTime other volunteers and he loves the UPS man. He loves everyone! The boys will require a permanent home with a room to keep them safe and for when you are not home. The room must have an area rug if not carpeted. There are many support groups willing to share information and knowledge on caring for CH kitties. They have brought us so much joy and we will shed tears when they leave us but it is our mission to find homes so we can rescue more. Please fill out an application for these adorable, outstanding, inspiration little boys on our website at www.hucatrescue.org. Thank you!
