My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Miracle is a CROSS POST. PLEASE contact his foster mom at dnajaras@gmail.com.

Miracle is one of a litter of 4 kittens born in a foster home to a feral mother in late April. He is what T.S. Elliot referred to as a "jellicle cat" in his book, Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats. Miracle is very loving and loves to climb into his foster mom's lap and curl up next to her. He is very handsome, with a somewhat triangular head. Miracle is very "people focused" and has the potential to make a great therapy cat. He seems to sense when his foster mom is sad and will come to her and curl up on her heart.

One kitten in Miracle's litter tested positive for feline leukemia (FeLV), but the attending vet now speculates that this could have been a false positive from the recently administered FeLV vaccine, which is known to cause false positives. Furthermore, the mother and all of the other kittens tested negative for FeLV on 7/25/18. The FeLV+ kitten was euthanized for other medical reasons. The surviving kittens were tested again on 10/19/18 and all were negative for FeLV. The vet who administered the test thinks that the 3 surviving kittens are very healthy. However, their foster mom believes it's important to make prospective adopters aware of the suspected false positive FeLV results so that they can do their due diligence with regard to that one result, especially if there are resident cats in the home.

If you're interested in learning more about Miracle, please contact their foster mom at dnajaras@gmail.com
