Meet Lou!

Photo of Lou #2

At 5 weeks old, his foster momma noticed he didn’t move and climb the same as his sisters. A vet check confirmed that he suffers from Cerebellar Hypoplasia (also known as Druken Sailor or Wobbly Cat Syndrome). Lou had mild head tremors, unsteady, wobbly walking, falling down and wasn’t able to climb or keep up with his sisters activity level. He has grown quite a bit and has adapted to his restrictions. He is pretty verbal and does let his humans know when he’s gotten stuck or can’t figure out how to get up or down off furniture. He loves to play and has the cutest little run when he sees something he wants. He gets lots of cuddles and kisses from his foster momma and loves to sleep on her lap and rub against her legs.

Lou’s new family should understand that he must be kept indoors, shouldn’t be declawed, and furniture should be minimal with carpeted areas for him to help with his mobility. There is no cure or treatment for Cerebellar Hypoplasia, but the symptoms will not worsen.
