Henry Domestic Short Hair Hopkinsville, KY

Meet sweet Henry, or “hehe” as his foster mom calls him. Henry came to Max’s Hope because he is special needs. He was born with Cerebellar Hypoplasia. This occurs when the mother cat has an exposure to a viral illness while pregnant that can cause her kittens to be born with an underdeveloped cerebellum in the brain. The cerebellum controls balance and coordination.

Henry is a normal cat through and through- he’s just a little wobbly. He walks and meows, eats and drinks, and plays like a normal kitty. He is litter box trained. Henry will need a home with NO STAIRS inside, but otherwise needs no other accommodations. A forever home for Henry will need to understand that preventing potentially dangerous situations for him (such as a fall down the stairs due to his imbalance) will be very important for him. His CH is mild though, and he will live a full and normal life!!

Henry can be shy at first, and isn’t really a fan of being picked up. This is understandable, and he prefers all four on the floor to keep his balance. He will play with all the toys and sit on your lap. His favorite time of the day is getting to eat canned food as a treat.

Henry is around a year old and is FIV/FeLV negative, neutered, and fully vaccinated.
