My name is Bly!

Bly starts out in a new place as a shy boy that enjoys being pet and is an expert cuddler once he knows you a bit.  Then he is very playful and ready for lots of attention.  He hasn't had a lot of being picked up and carried around so he still gets a bit stiff when you reach to pick him up.  He loves to play with toys and has had to entertain himself for some time since he was sick and quarantined from other pets.  He arrived to us sick, as do many, and it really took him awhile to shake it.  He will thrive in a quiet home that doesn't have too much commotion where he can have the time it takes to feel safe and comfortable. Bly has had ongoing URI (upper respiratory symptoms) that can disappear completely for some time and then flare up when he experiences stress so his adopter will need to understand that and be prepared for more frequent vet visits and to do the things needed to keep his environment low stress and controlled. It is possible this is the feline herpes virus.  His symptoms have been very mild the last few months with only occassional minor, short-lived flare ups.     Meet Bly at the Thrift Hound, 234 New Leicester Hwy. during business hours.  All cats are spayed/neutered, current on age appropriate vaccines, FELV/FIV tested, microchipped, dewormed and started on monthly flea preventative.

Please note that visual breed identification of companion animals has been proven to be unreliable, so for most of our animals we provide a best guess at predominant breed or breed mix. We get to know each of our animals as an individual and do our best to describe and place pets based on personality not breed label.

Mountain Pet Rescue is a 501(c)(3) non-profit tax deductible charity (EIN 82-3039637) located in Asheville, NC.
