Ponceau, Mazzy, Little Bo, Annie and Cattleya are purrrecious little babies who will absolutely steal your heart!

They are affectionate, playful little ones who were lovingly raised in foster care. They adore attention and being petted, and will entertain you with their silly antics!

These adorable babies have CH (Cerebellar Hypoplasia, or wobbly cat syndrome), which is a neurological disorder that affects their balance and coordination. This means they wobble when they walk, and sometimes fall over, but it doesn't hurt them and they have the strength to walk, play, eat and use the litterbox.

They got this condition from their mother while in utero, and it is not infectious to other cats. CH also does not affect their long-term health or lifespan. Mazzy (Mazarine) and Annie (Annatto) have severe CH, Little Bo (Gamboge) is moderate, and Ponceau and Cattleya are mild.

These loving sweethearts are 12 weeks old, spayed and neutered, vaccinated, negative for feline leukemia,microchipped and ready for their forever homes. They will do best adopted in pairs or with an age-appropriate kitten companion to grow up and be well-rounded with - two kittens live healthier, happier lives!

When you adopt CH cats, we recommend adding baby gates and toddler plastic on any stairwells, and if you have hardwood floors to cover them mostly with rugs. CH cats do acclimate well to their home environment with time.
