Mission Viejo, CA

Description:

Willie is about 1 1/2 years old, and was transferred to us by another rescuer who was having some housing issues and had to relocate all her cats, or so she told us. She begged us for help with Willie and Loretta, her 2 remaining cats she needed to place. We won't go into full details but she basically lied to us, then ghosted us after we took possesssion of the cats. She was not truthful with us about their personalities. Willie is now very loving and sweet, affectionate and playful. At first he was shut down and scared. He is a awesome cat but will likely need time and patience to settle in. Loretta is very cautious and untrusting at first. They are both currently boarding at our vets office and after about 2 months Loretta will now approach and let some of the staff hold and cuddle her, but she is still cautious with others.. Both are very sweet but the victims of an unfortunate situation. We were also told by the rescuer who dumped them that she had had them since they were kittens, they are now about 1 year, and they never left the one room they stayed in. These 2 are so deserving of a loving forever home. Since we have only every had them together we hope to adopt them out as a pair, but will consider homes separately if it is the right fit LOCATION: Foster Home Visit http://greatpets.org/cat-adoption-application for an online application Loretta's $175 adoption fee includes her vet exam while in our care, felv/fiv test, fecal, spay surgery, microchip, flea treatment, and current vaccinationsFebruary 15, 2024, 9:40 pmAdoption processAll interested parties are required to complete an Adoption Application (on our website at www.greatpets.org).

FIV (feline immunodeficiency virus) is a widely misunderstood condition. Many people think that it’s easily spread, makes cats very sick, and that they have a lower life expectancy, so they are not often adopted. This is far from the truth! When a cat tests positive for FIV, it means they either carry the virus or have been vaccinated for it at some point (which causes them to test positive for the disease, which is why this vaccination isn’t recommended, among other reasons). FIV is not spread through casual contact such as shared food/water/litter, mutual grooming, or playing. It is most commonly spread through deep, vicious bite wounds typically inflicted by intact toms fighting on the streets over food, females, or territory. If a cat has been spayed or neutered, they are unlikely to fight in this manner, and if the population is stable (no serious fighting), FIV+ cats can live with non-infected cats. It was previously thought that FIV+ pregnant females could pass the virus to their kittens, but this has since been disproved according to one study.* Kittens with an FIV+ mother may test positive for up to 6 months simply due to the presence of maternal antibodies, which dissipate over time. FIV+ cats can live as long and healthy a life as non-infected cats. This doesn’t mean they will never become ill; they are, after all immunocompromised, so illnesses can be easier to catch and harder to fight off. They have the same needs as any other cat: high-quality nutrition, a clean, stress-free, strictly indoor environment, regular veterinary visits (two times per year), and lots of love. If they should become ill, they are generally treated earlier, longer, and more aggressively than non-immunocompromised cats (meaning they need to see the vet at the very first sign of illness and may be on a stronger medication or on medication for a longer period of time). *Study results can be found on our "Available Cats and Kittens" website page at www.greatpets.org
