Health
Vaccinations up to date, spayed / neutered, special needs. Catamaran has a congenital condition called PPDH (peritoneal pericardial diaphragmatic hernia.) This means that the tissue that the heart rests in (pericardium) fused with the diaphragm when he was in the womb. This caused a small hole in the diaphragm and a small piece of his liver lobe migrated through the hole into the fluid around the heart. Per the veterinary specialist, these holes rarely get any bigger and cats can live their full life expectancy with this condition. His heart beats normally and blood flow is good. Surgery nor medications are recommended as it doesn't seem to be affecting his quality of life.

Meet Catamaran - Maine Coon Mix

Catamaran is an orange and white tabby Maine Coon mix male. He was born around Jan. 2018 and was recently impounded at a shelter with dirty and matted fur. The fur was such a mess that he was shaved in places and his tail was totally shaved. Check out his HUGE paws! He is super laid-back and he is so happy to be out of the shelter- he purrs non-stop! He got very sick while at the shelter but he is now is now a happy, healthy, growing boy! He is making up for his time on the streets without food and is gaining quite a bit of weight! He is a sweet, loving, gentle boy who loves to play! He gets along beautifully with other kitties and he loves to be held like a baby.

He visited a vet specialist recently and had an ultrasound due to his deep breathing. It turns out he has a congenital condition called PPDH (peritoneal pericardial diaphragmatic hernia.) This means that the tissue that the heart rests in (pericardium) fused with the diaphragm when he was in the womb. This caused a small hole in the diaphragm and a small piece of his liver lobe migrated through the hole into the fluid around the heart. Per the veterinary specialist, these holes rarely get any bigger and cats can live their full life expectancy with this condition. His heart beats normally and blood flow is good. Surgery nor medications are recommended as it doesn't seem to be affecting his quality of life. The heavy breathing is not caused by this. His breathing is caused by the bad upper respiratory infection he suffered when in the shelter which caused a sort of chronic non-contagious bronchitis. Sometimes this gets better naturally and sometimes cats live with it their whole life. He will need a good veterinarian in the future and regular annual trips but nothing more. The vet specialist is happy to speak to potential adopters more about this.
