This is Noa, a 3-4-month-old, blind kitten who is FelV+ (confirmed thru qPCR, a progressive infection but no symptoms or signs of illness currently). Noa is longhaired and sweet as can be. She takes off RUNNING towards ANY noise and is so curious and brave. She can do all the things (and get in all the trouble) that typical kittens can and her blindness doesn't hold her back in the least. She should be slowly introduced to new rooms and supervised, as she really will just start running and diving off furniture without a care in the world. When she is sleepy or wants to get cuddly, she melts into a puddle of purrs and nuzzles you until she falls asleep in your lap. She's the cutest little lady!
Noa should be adopted to a home as an only-cat or to a home with other confirmed FelV+ cats. If you have a mixed household with vaccinated FelV- cats, we are open to discussing! Noa is spayed, up-to-date on vaccines and microchipped. She is FIV negative. We don't have a distance requirement, but any applicants must be willing to pick her up in Mullica Hill, NJ or arrange transportation. Feel free to reach out with any questions and apply: https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/CCRS/Cat
About FelV:
FelV, or feline leukemia virus, is a retrovirus that only infects cats and is contagious to other cats through prolonged exposure. The virus weakens the immune system and makes the host susceptible to other illnesses. Cats who are infected progressively typically live for years without showing any signs or symptoms and live, on average, for 3-5-years, although soke may succumb sooner and many live much longer. Typically, care for an FelV+ cat is exactly the same as a non-infected cat, although including immuno-supplements and being vigilant about vet care, including repeating bloodwork every so often to check levels, is important to ensure a healthier lifespan.
