Story
Mimi is 2 years old, he’s a really good cat however lately he has been having issues with not using a litter box even when it’s changed. He loves to cuddle sometimes. He will spray a lot so I do recommend getting him neutered as soon as you are able to.

Story
Titania is named after the Queen of the Fairies and is mom to the cottage-core babies that were recently adopted. She was a very good mama and took excellent care of her babies. Now it is her turn to find her furever family. Titania was an indoor/outdoor pet before coming to the shelter and sadly has tested positve for FIV. She is otherwise very healthy and can live a long happy life despite having the disease. FIV is not a death sentence and is only contagious through deep bite wounds. FIV cats can live harmoniously with non FIV cats as long as there is no fighting. Titania is very loving and curious. She is a total sweetheart! She has medium hair, but we wouldn't be surprised if she actually turns out to be long hair now that she no longer has fleas and is getting proper nutrition. If interested in adding her to your family, please fill out our adoption application on our website at Effinghamcountyhumanesoceity.org
