Cerebellar Hypoplasia Cat Awareness (CH Kitty)

100% of the Proceeds for sales of Cerebellar Hypoplasia Awareness items help CH Kitties. Cerebellar Hypoplasia is a disorder found in cats and dogs which causes jerky movements, tremors, and generally uncoordinated motion, just like ataxic cerebral palsy in humans. A cat with CH often falls down and has trouble walking or cannot seem to walk at all. CH in cats is non-progressive, meaning it does not get worse with age. Symptoms appear at birth, though they may not be noticed until the kitten starts walking at a few weeks of age. Like symptoms that come on suddenly or later in life are not CH. Animals with CH are not suffering or in any pain. They live normal lifespans and tend to get more coordinated as they learn to compensate and their muscle strength grows.
