My brother is looking into adding a cat into his family and contacted a breeder. The breeder has one loving male kitten looking for a home. However, this kitten currently has an umbilical hernia that the breeder will repair at their cost prior to releasing him to his new home.
We're wondering - after the hernia is fixed, are there still any health concerns? Will this kitten be more prone to other problems due to this hernia? Is the hernia a sign of poor health? I read that it can be congenital...then does that mean he doesn't come from very good genes?
TIA.
