Keah and her siblings were dumped in a cardboard box at the shelter. They were all starving and dehydrated. They are receiving around the clock care and being seen by a vet. She is still too young to determine her personality.
Keah and her siblings have Cerebellar Hypoplasia (CH). CH in cats is a non-progressive neurological disorder where the cerebellum—the part of the brain responsible for balance and coordination—is underdeveloped, often due to a pregnant cat contracting the feline panleukopenia virus (FPV) while carrying kittens. Symptoms include a wobbly, uncoordinated gait, head tremors, and poor balance, but CH cats are not infectious, can live happy lives, and do not experience worsening symptoms over time. While there is no cure, proper care includes providing a safe environment, large litter boxes, and traction aids, but importantly, these cats are not in pain and do not have a shortened lifespan.
Keah is scheduled to be altered, tested for feline leukemia/FIV/HW and vaccinated. She is not declawed.
Because Keah is in a foster home, an adoption application is required before an appointment can be set up to meet this amazing feline: https://windmillanimalrescue.com/cat-adoption/
