My story

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

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.

Tab Hunter is a good'ol fella that just happened to have been tested as FIV+. Unlike FeLK, FIV means he MUST be taken care of by a vet familiar with the care of FIV Cats and that does not jump to euthanize at any sniffle. Although, it is very important to get him to the vet to be treated as his immune system is not as strong as cats that do not have FIV. It is recommended that they be given the best food, the best preventatives, the best of everything...which really is the same as all cats but especially those with FIV or any other immune deficiency condition. One of the things that we have had him on since we rescued him is Lysine. We have used the powder kind and sprinkled it in the dry food but however you want to give it to him, is just fine. He has done well with top loading litter boxes with clumping litter but the director of the rescue prefers Pretty Litter for any cat that needs extra percaution as the Pretty Litter Brand may be helpful to catch any UTIs early. Our big boy has not caught on to groooming very well yet so he might like some help in that area. Be Gentle!!! He has not caught on to the grooming thing just quite yet either. I'm sure you will see so many more traits in this guy that we have been able to with so many other cats to compete with in the cat house, but he certianly is a sweet one, and easy going at that. After all the suffering he has had in the past, he deserves only the best match so please give us time to approve you to adopt him. You won't regret it.

More about this rescue

Piedmont Pound Paws (PPP) began as a group of volunteers working together to find loving/responsible adopters or licensed rescues for animals that were unfortunate enough to find themselves in the city of Piedmont, MO kill pound. Over time, homeless pets in extended areas, often including the MO counties of Wayne, Reynolds, Iron, Butler, Carter, & Bollinger, were also helped. Today, this continues while educating the community and helping to find resources for low income families to responsibly care for their pets.
