We rescued a 10 month old cat from Cleveland Animal Shelter last Friday. He is a handsome, sleek, solid black young man with glowing eyes and a lively attitude. On the surface, he seems perfectly healthy. He is at the vet being neutered today. Sadly,  Franklin tested positive for both Feline Leukemia and FIV. If one wasn’t bad enough, having both conditions immensely limits the possible homes for Franklin. But we will not give up!  He deserves love as much as any other cat in our care. We will find the right home for him so he can enjoy the rest of his life.  If you have any ideas or know of anyone who might be willing to offer Franklin a place to call home, please let me know.

 

Dakota is a gorgeous, solid black Bobtail who is friendly, intelligent, and unfortunately, FIV positive. Feline Immunodeficiency Virus is a manageable disease that is frequently misunderstood; many FIV positive cats live long happy, healthy lives with proper care. Dakota is as healthy as can be and shows absolutely no signs of illness.

For cats like Dakota with no other symptoms, and otherwise generally good health, management of FIV involves a proper diet and prompt, aggressive treatment of infections and other conditions as they crop up throughout life. Your veterinarian will work with you to establish a plan to keep Dakota healthy. Dakota will need to be an inside only cat and flea control is important, as fleas transmit a number of other parasites and flea bites themselves can become infected.

Dakota is strikingly handsome and genial. He is a big, flirty, cuddly bear of a cat. He will shower his guardian with affection and will thrive when that affection is returned.
