My story

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

Lincoln - Available for Adoption
(PS: LOOK AT HIS THUMBS!)

Lincoln is doing amazing in his foster home. He is a super sweet guy. He loves to be your loyal companion and will follow you wherever you go. He spends most of his time asking for treats by doing a little vertical stretch, and lounging around the apartment. In his free time, he likes to chase balls around and purr at maximum volume.

Lincoln had been eating at a feral cat feeding station for several months before he was trapped. His paws were dirty, his long fur was matted and unkempt, and his poor ears bore numerous scars, no doubt from tussles with the other local tomcats - which meant it wasn't very surprising when he also tested positive for FIV (Feline Immunodeficiency Virus).

Shortly after his neuter and initial vet care, Lincoln became very sick and required emergency veterinary care. Bloodwork revealed he was anemic and had a dangerously low platelet count. Further diagnostics were inconclusive, so a barrage of medications were prescribed in the hope that something would do the trick - and, miraculously, Lincoln has had a complete recovery!

Being sick never diminished Lincoln's spirit. He is a very affectionate and outgoing gentleman who is always eager for human interaction. He loves to be pet and even held. He would do well as a family pet; according to Lincoln, the math is simple: more humans = more attention!!

Lincoln is a handsome domestic long hair polydactyl and is estimated to be about three years old. He is neutered, up-to-date on vaccines, and negative for FeLV.
