My story

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

Fat Boy – Like so many others, Fat Boy and another kitty were brought to ARC from what was supposed to be their forever home. After the first week at ARC, Fay Boy relaxed and started to enjoy himself and socialize with the other kitties, staff, volunteers and even strangers. He now enjoys petting and attention from all! Fat Boy is a gentle natured kitty that would love to find a home where he can love and receive love forever!

Fat Boy is FIV positive. FIV in cats is like HIV (the human immunodeficiency virus) and causes a feline disease that is like AIDS in humans. Although FIV is like AIDS in humans it is a highly species-specific virus that infects only felines. While there is currently no definitive cure for FIV in felines, with proper care there is no reason a cat infected with FIV cannot live a very normal, healthy life for years -- if managed appropriately.

More about this rescue

The Animal Refuge Center (ARC) of Fort Myers is a not for profit animal welfare society dedicated to stopping the escalating cost to impound, care for, kill and dispose of dogs and cats dying for no reason other than having been born. ARC is helping to cut the large numbers of homeless animals which eventually cuts the costs to taxpayers, which to date has reached over half a million dollars a year.

ARC is a non-euthanasia organization. Once we accept an animal for adoption, IT WILL NOT BE DESTROYED TO MAKE ROOM FOR ANOTHER. We are here to help the unwanted and neglected animals who now face certain death.
