Critter Details

FIV+ FELV+DOB: 2/27/2021 Hey there, I'm Angelo. Although my fur may be as pure as the clouds in the sky, my journey has been anything but ordinary. You see, I have feline leukemia, but that doesn't define me. It just makes me all the more special!  I'm a social butterfly, always ready to strike up a conversation with anyone who crosses my path. Whether it's a gentle meow or a hearty purr, I love to chat and share my thoughts with the world. Even though I can't go to the adoption center, I'm still waiting patiently for my forever family to come and whisk me away to a life filled with love and companionship. Until then, I'm making the most of my time here, soaking up the love and attention from the wonderful staff who take care of me. They say I'm a ray of sunshine in their day, and I like to think that my cheerful demeanor brings a little bit of joy to everyone I meet. I love to tell people long complex stories from my past.    Are you ready to open your heart to a special kitty like me? Adopting a cat with feline leukemia may seem daunting, but I promise you, the love and joy I'll bring into your life will make it all worthwhile. Let's embark on this journey together and create a bond that's as strong as it is beautiful.   the abridged version: Angelo is such an amazing cat who loves other cats and people. He has had a few different FELV+ “room mates” and always tends to gravitate towards them. (He loves to bask in the sweet rays of friendship groom his friends and make sure they’re looking their best). He would be an awesome addition to a home that has a FELV+ cat or a home that could take him and his newest buddy Gordito.    One of the biggest misconceptions about feline leukemia, which suppresses a cat’s immune system, is that it is an automatic death sentence. There are many variables, however, that come into play that determine how FeLV will affect a particular cat.  To learn more about this condition visit:  https://resources.bestfriends.org/article/feline-leukemia-felv-faqs Feline Immunodeficiency Virus positive cats can live normal lives both in quality and duration. They do take special care in terms of monitoring them for signs of infection.  FIV can be passed from cat to cat via deep bite wounds, but not from casual contact so positive cats can live with negative cats without the fear of spreading FIV as long as they get along and are spayed/neutered.
