Domestic Short Hair (short coat) : : Male (neutered)
Isaiah is such a love bug. When he's not running around playing, he wants to be curled up by your side. He was found with his sister, Leia, when he was 3 weeks old. He does have cerebellar hypoplasia (CH) which occurs when the cerebellum, the part of the brain which controls fine motor skills and coordination, is not completely mature at birth. There are varying degrees to which they can be affected. It does not get worse, isn't contagious & doesn't change the cat's life expectancy. Isaiah is only mildly affected & has compensated very well. He high steps when he walks & sometimes loses his balance but has no problem getting to the litterbox or climbing up on the bed. He could potentially learn to do stairs, but would be safer if he didn't have access to them. He CANNOT be declawed due to already having a hard enough time walking normally.
