My story

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

FELV+

Walter is a feline superhero who's ready to save the day! This courageous cat has been through a lot in his young life, but he's not about to let that stop him from being a true hero. Walter may have been diagnosed with feline leukemia (FeLV), but he's not letting that hold him back. At first, he was scared and wouldn't allow pets from his foster family. But with time and patience, he's warmed up and now greets his favorite humans with open paws. Like any good superhero, Walter has a love for heights. He likes to be up high, surveying his surroundings and keeping an eye out for crime and danger. He would love nothing more than a house with a tall cat tree or safe, cozy elevated spaces where he can keep watch and protect his domain. So if you're looking for a guardian to join your family, look no further than Walter! He's a cat who's ready to save the day and be your loyal companion for life. If you would like to meet him we will coordinate with his current foster and find a time. DOB: 11/1/2020

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.

**This cat is currently in a foster home and arrangements can be made for a meeting once you have applied with us. All cats are spayed or neutered, vaccinated and tested for FIV/FeLV. If interested in adopting me, please fill out an online adoption application at https://colonycats.org/adoption_app.html to expedite the process. Due to the large number of inquiries received, we are unable to respond to emails quickly.**
