Story
Update: Billy has spent a few weeks in foster now! And yes, she does indeed take time to warm up! She will stay hidden for quite a few days before starting to venture out. And will very slowly come around. Billy is good with the foster`s small dog and other FeLV+ cats in the home. She is NOT a fan of the kitten, though is tolerant ;) She warmed up to the kids first, and the adult human last! In fact, the adult human is still only 50/50 in her good graces ;) She will seek attention when she is ready and is a puff monster who loves to be pet. She is also quite playful once she is comfortable.Billy was brought in as a stray, who wasn`t feeling well. Our medical team helped get her back to health, and she is now looking for her forever home. You`ll notice that she isn`t one for bragging about how good looking she is, this girl is shy! She is not quite used to humans, so she would appreciate a patient human who will let her lead the relationship. We`d like to mention Billy is considered a Special Paws adoption, which means she does have medical needs that need tending to. Billy is FeLV positive, an IDEXX FIV/FeLV test was performed in shelter using whole blood, and a positive FeLV test result was noted. Feline leukemia virus (FeLV) can significantly compromise the immune system, so routine preventive healthcare is important. Infected felines often have a shorter than average lifespan, though can live a relatively normal life for a period of time. There are many ways that FeLV adversely affects a cat, most commonly including; cancer, blood disorders, and overall immunodeficiency. It is important that any medical concerns are promptly addressed with a veterinarian. The primary mode of transmission for FeLV is through bite wounds, mutual grooming, and (rarely) through the use of shared litter boxes and feeding dishes. Since this condition can be easily transmitted to other cats, those testing positive should be housed only with those who have also tested positive. Rarely, false positive tests can occur. If a cat has been vaccinated against FeLV we would not see a false positive result. It is recommended that you follow up with your primary care veterinarian to establish a preventive healthcare plan post adoption! But because of this, her adoption fee is totally up to you!
