Isabella and Abigail Domestic Short Hair Cincinnati, OH

Meet Isabella and Abigail!

These beautiful sisters are almost identical twins other than the placement of the orange spots on their forehead, They're DSH Taboos that need each other in more ways than one.

You see Isabella has cerebellar hypoplasia, also known as “CH,” or “wobbly cat syndrome.” But don’t panic–cerebellar hypoplasia is not as scary as it sounds.

Just keep in mind these four essential facts about CH when considering cerebellar hypoplasia cats up for adoption:

1. CH is not painful.
2. CH is not contagious.
3. CH is not a progressive condition (i.e. the condition doesn’t worsen over time).
4. Cats with CH can live long, happy, and normal lives.

Now let's learn about Isabella 's personality; she loves chasing her own tail. Even with mild-CH, she can get around quite well.

She likes to practice her wide-legged stance for balance, and loves to pounce.

This sweet girl, who is very friendly, does great with getting around and climbing up on cat trees, she loves playing with her sister Abigail, catnip toys, chasing Abigail through tunnels and she is a fantastic snuggle companion, Fun fact – she will never jump on your counters!

Abigail loves all the same things her sister Isabella loves. However, she is a little more on the timid side.

Once she’s comfortable with you, she will be in your lap or by your side purring her heart away, both these girls have the loudest PURRRRRRR boxes I’ve ever heard! when you get them going at the same time it's music to your ears.

Abigail and Isabella have been raised with two Saint Bernards and two smaller dogs. However they would prefer to be without dogs or dogs that pay absolutely no attention to them.

Both girls do well with other cats with a gentle introduction, sometimes they can be a little protective of one another.

Isabella and Abigail would do best in a home with older children due to Isabella's wobbliness, she can't land on all fours like normal cats so she would need children holding her to know to set her on the floor gently.

Due to Isabella’s CH, she will be available for in-home meet and greets only!

These truly are the sweetest girls. Are you YOU! their FUREVER home?
