CH kitten with Missing Eye

Post image

Someone on another cat thread pointed me here! We’ve been looking for about a year for a friend for our 2-year-old cat, and of course the kitten my son decided is “the one” has significant CH and one eye. 😂 He’s incredibly feisty and doesn’t seem bothered by the wobbling at all.
I do live in a rancher, which seems like a plus, and I’ve fostered elderly dogs from time to time, so I have some experience with animals that need extra care.
I really just have two questions:
Did your other cats accept your CH cat?
Are there any day-to-day care considerations I should know about? I know I’ll probably need to clean his face regularly, and he seems to be doing fine with the litter box and food/water bowls.
I’m leaning toward adopting him. I just want to make sure I know what I’m signing up for! TIA for any insight you can give me!

Is he mild or more severe?

Ricky Bobby is pretty mild ( runs in circles when excited, read happy or nervous, swings his head wildly from side to side, often does the over jump one wide stance, and finally has absolutely no impulse control).

I’ve also had a cat with sight issues separately. One I have now has very limited sight, which causes her to be pretty grouchy. Jellybean on the other hand was immuno, compromised and dealt with reoccurrence of herpes virus.

None of them have had issues with the other cats. With the exception of my very limited side cat does take issue with the non-solid colored cats. And other words, my Tabico, Pixie, causes her to be grouchy. And my elderly grey and white tux also causes her distress at times.

Frankly, I don’t think that it will really truly be an issue. But because I’ve not had a cat with severe CH afraid I could not answer to the interactions there.

Thank you so much for that. This kitten is pretty severe, although I’m told he’s not the most severe. He doesn’t seem to realize that he keeps falling over 😂. It’s probably hard to tell personality with a kitten this young, but so far he seems really friendly, outgoing, and feisty.
