Louie

Louie one of our special needs kittens is now ready to find his home.

Louie is a special needs kitten, he has a condition called Ventricular Septal Defect (VSD) this condition was initially observed by his vet in Horsham who referred Louie to a specialist ultrasound cardiologist who diagnosed him with VSD.

VSD means he has a hole or defect in the muscle wall of the heart that separates the left and right ventricles. Unfortunately there is no surgical options to repair this, however Louie also has another defect in his heart which is actually helping the first defect. Information sheets on these conditions will be provided which explains in more detail.

Due to this condition Louie will need a special home that understands he may have a reduced life expectancy, the specialist was unable to say how long this may be as it depends on how the condition changes as he grows. But he did say he may live for many years.

Louie doesn't know he has a heart condition and you wouldn't know anything was different by looking at him, he acts like any other kitten his age.

Due to his medical condition a totally indoor home only, preferably a one pet household or older quiet pet as to reduce high amount of exercise. Too much exercise could potentially put extra extra pressure on his heart.

Louie is very playful and interactive with new people.
He comes to his name when called.
- Carrie's his toys around the house. Very playful and inquisitive little kitten.
- Can be very intense when playing still learning that hands and feet are not toys, for this reason not suitable for small children.
