Along with posting pictures, Belarus also uses his Instagramto promote merchfeaturing his handsome cross-eyed face. Krall uses the proceeds from these merch sales to help shelters in the San Fransisco area, including Belarus’ former home: the SFACC.
“Last year, we donated $6,000 to shelters, with $4,000 to Belarus’ shelter SFACC, $1,000 to Sonoma Community Animal Response Team for their efforts saving animals from the Sonoma wildfire, and $1,000 to Cat Town of Oakland,” Krall toldDaily Mail.“While I had originally only pledged 50% of the profits to the shelter for our first campaign, I’ve actually donated 100% of proceeds.”
While it is hard to miss Belarus’ unique look, his crossed eyes don’t make life hard. The cat’s strabismus doesn’t cause pain or serious vision problems, reports theNew York Post.
Like many other kitties, this pet loves food, games and causing a bit of mischief.
