Yes he has curly fur it seems

He is a floofy marshmallow

fuzzy curly floofy marshmallow

Yep because he does look like he’d have curly hair/fur

My cat used to be like this as a kitten and now he is a plus size fuzzy marshmallow

🥰

That has been everyone who follows her on any social media platform for the past couple of weeks. Nobody can look at this little cotton ball and not immediately fall in love it seems.

Watch his first video! He's the cutest

@@EeveelutionStorm Fergie was dying

@@aishahowasis8484 Considering that Hannah doesn't want any more cats of her own, it would be bad. Let's support Hannah in helping Chou-Chou to get him in an adoptable condition and to a great home away from her.

Yes, it looks like chouchou will be staying with her for a while, and she will only be considering local adopters with veterinary experience

@@EeveelutionStorm Fergie was originally going to be o be a hospice kitten because there wasn't much hope in him actually beating the odds given his struggle in the beginning. I mean Fergie was in the best hands possible so the likelihood of him surviving was better. He's a fighter and so is Hannah,now Fergie can be the furry foster brother/parent. It is amazing that Fergie survived and is doing as well as he is. As far as chouchou he will be with Hannah for much longer due to his cleft palate. It's basically the same thing as any other kitten because she is preparing him for life, it's just that he needs a bit extra time to prepare. Sound alike she is going to try and get his palate fixed before finding a home.

I bet tons of people have lined up as potential adopters, he's absolutely beautiful!

I’ve always wondered what the longterm process is like. How old were you when you had your first surgery? You don’t have to answer but I definitely would love to hear more of your story if you’re up to talking about it. :)

@@kimikonyan I was 10 months old, and it only took one surgery! And then about ten years of speech therapy, two years of regular braces, and thats it!

@@juliaowens9516 That’s really neat! Thank you for sharing. I always love to learn more about other people. :)

Yes, very floof

@@nataliaentalia floofy even. Seriously, what a character!!

I know

i literally get goosebumps when i see this little kitten. 😳 he's so cute i love him 🥺😍

he's going to be stunning when he's older, a literal cloud

Your so caring I wish you the best it life :)

@@Bob-pg6ri thank you so much

@@paulas2218 :)

I believe she is fundraising for the expenses of his current care and for the multiple surgeries in his future. You could check her site but I think (?) she gave the link on her First 3 Weeks of ChouChou video.

I love the chinchilla profile picture, he looks like my chinchilla

Agreed!

Yeah, I was thinking about Aura too! If anyone is worrying about what ChouChou may have in store, you may be pleased to know that Aura is a full grown, happy, energetic cat. While every kitten is different & ChouChou will probably have a very different medical journey, it's nice to see that even a very severe cleft palate doesn't have to stop a cat from living a fun life.

The Auracuda is doing so well! She received a donor bone from a dog to fix her issue, so now she’s a catdog!

Hannah had a call with Shelly as well so hopefully she got some ideas from that too that might help, haven't heard anything else but whatever happens chouchou will have the best care ever! ♥️

Your Mom must have been an extraordinary woman. Wow! Hugs to you.

When I was a kid, there was a family next door whose older daughter had a very bad cleft palate and lip. She had surgeries but they didn't do a great job, this was around 1960. My mom told me how her mother had to squirt formula down her throat with a dropper. They didn't tube feed at home back then. The baby cried almost nonstop 24/7 because she was so hungry all the time. They couldn't keep their windows open in the summer.

I was wondering how well that would go with a human baby. Looks difficult enough with a half pound fluff. Although the human doesn't have sharp little claws 🤔

A cross between a Persian, a poodle, a teacup, a dandelion, and a cotton ball!

My nephew also was born with a cleft palate, luckily not a large one, one operation took care of it. But yes, his ear drums also tore, he has regular ear infections ever since, and very bad teeth in general. I wonder if these normal "secondary problems" with cleft palate also apply to cats, though 🤔

@@inoel75 another I have every winter was a sore throat and yes bad teeth I grew up with one of my front teeth missing, I actually had my teeth when born

Hmm, interesting... I never would have known. ♥️

I know… I spelt palate wrong 🤦🏻‍♀️
