Belarus, a stunning feline from San Francisco, was surrendered to a shelter when his previous owners moved away, leaving him behind.
But little did they know, this kitty’s unique feature – his adorable cross-eyes – would soon make him an internet sensation, captivating the hearts of many!
The shelter staff fell head over heels in love with Belarus’s friendly and affectionate nature, and his quirky eyes only added to his charm.
To help him find a new family, they created an Instagram page showcasing his photos, captioned “Love is not blind – it’s cross-eyed.” And that’s when Rachel, a cat lover with a heart of gold, stumbled upon him.
Rachel was immediately smitten with Belarus’s goofy gaze and contacted the shelter to adopt him. When they met, Belarus snuggled up to her as if he knew he’d found his forever home, where he would receive all the love and care he deserved!
In his new home, Belarus became the center of attention, and Rachel showered him with love, care, and all the comforts a cat could ask for.
His Instagram page soon gained over 390k followers, and he became a local celebrity, with fans from all over the world admiring his unique features and loving personality!
But Belarus’s fame didn’t stop there. His adorable face now features on a range of clothing and merchandise, with 100% of the profits going to animal charities and shelters in his area, helping many other cats and animals in need.
He’s raised over $12,000 so far, and his impact on the community is truly remarkable!
Belarus’s story is a heartwarming reminder that every cat deserves love, care, and a second chance, regardless of their physical appearance or unique features.
