Cross-Eyed Cat Named Belarus Is A Rising Star And He Is Simply Adorable
Cats are beautiful creatures; there is no doubt about it. No matter their size, color, or pattern, they are graceful and intelligent animals that quickly grow on our hearts.
If a cat has something unique, it makes her even prettier, like Belarus, for instance. His crossed eyes emphasize his adorable and playful nature, making him even cuter.
This fluffy and cheerful boy has already amassed more than 250k followers. Scroll down and see that it's well justified.
His owner, Rachel, adopted him almost two years ago when he was one year old. She instantly fell in love with him and knew that he was the cat for her.
Meet Belarus – a magnificent fur ball with a rare set of eyes
Belarus was born with crossed eyes.
This eye condition is called strabismus.
Ever since she adopted Belarus, his owner Rachel has been supporting the shelter he came from to help other cats there. She uses Belarus’ famous face to attract people to her fundraisers for the animals who need help. In 2019, Rachel raised $4,000 for the shelter.
This condition poses no threat to Belarus’ health and doesn’t prevent him from having a full life.
Belarus is a very dynamic young cat.
Fortunately, the strabismus disorder doesn’t cause any pain or other health problems, nor is his vision impaired.
Maybe a little too active… Some would call him a troublemaker.
He loves to spend time in the shower, even when the water is on.
“He is a very active and extremely curious cat,” Rachel told the reporters. “He loves to play with balls, twist ties, and almost any other small object he can get his paws on.”
Belarus was adopted from a shelter.
He was previously a resident of San Francisco Animal Care & Control.
Like any other cat, Belarus has his favorite hobbies. Playing in the shower is at the top of the list. His owner says he is a bit of a troublemaker: “He loves knocking things off the sink while I’m in the shower. He also loves exploring EVERYTHING and squeezing inside the smallest corners and crannies he can find.”
He found his home when he was one year old.
His owner says she immediately fell in love with him after seeing his picture.
Belarus enjoys attention and is very inquisitive – everything he needs to be an Instagram star, and his 250k followers probably agree. He has his own Facebook and YouTube accounts.
The cat has his own Instagram and Facebook pages.
Which are updated frequently to correspond with all the newest trends.
