Cross-eyed cats are often irresistibly cute, and Belarus is no exception. This charming Nebelung cat, with his unique round yellow eyes that amusingly cross inward, stands out from the usual Siamese breeds known for this trait.
His silver-grey fur adds to his striking appearance, making his eye condition a part of his allure.
Belarus suffers from strabismus, a condition affecting the muscles and nerves behind the eyes. Despite this, he lives life to the fullest.

More Than Just a Pretty Face: Belarus’s Charitable Heart
Belarus’s adoption sparked a passion in Rachel and himself for supporting animal shelters. Leveraging his internet fame, they initiated fundraisers, selling merchandise to aid animal charities. Remarkably, they’ve donated significant sums, including $6,000 in one year alone, to various shelters and animal rescue efforts.
