Description:

Hello, my name is North America, and I am 9 weeks old. Can I tell you my rescue story? For a little guy like me - it's kind of sad but I promise there's happiness.I was brought to a shelter along with 6 other kittens. In one day, the shelter had 3 different families that had "oops" kittens. Shelter workers had to take us in because that's what they do but then they get on the phone and work really hard for rescues to help out. We were all brought in right before Christmas and shelter workers said you get your Freedom Ride to rescue - just wait.Well, Christmas came and went and no rescue. Nobody wanting to adopt me or the other 6. Then right before New Years a TAR Volunteer "just happened to be in the neighborhood" and asked the local shelter workers you got any kittens?Seven kittens got their Freedom Ride, and we all got the names for the 7 Continents - that's where Europe comes from.Once I was in my foster home, I got to go the kitty vet and we had to take a test. Gees, I didn't even get to study but my test showed I am FIV+. My siblings (Asia, South America & Europe) all had the same test results. Please keep reading my profile because even though I'm FIV+ I still need a loving home.I like to play with my siblings and run around. We get to play in kitty tunnels and climb cat trees. I like it when my foster Mom holds me on her lap. I give her tiny meows. Know what I am saying? "Thank you for saving me & my siblings."I hope one day I will have my own forever family.xoxo,North America,North America, is in our foster home in Aurora. To meet this handsome boy please complete our adoption application at: https://treasuredanimalrescueinc.org/application-cat-adoption/North America & his siblings have tested positive for FIV. FIV-positive cats are adoptable and can live the same lifespan as an FIV-negative cat. Research shows that when a kitten reaches their 6 months a retest should be done to confirm FIV status. Please don't let this test outcome deter you from adopting North America and/or his siblings. They are lovable, friendly kittens that just need the chance to have a home.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 isnt 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.Sorry, Treasured Animal Rescue does not adopt out of the State of IllinoisThank you for choosing to adopt! Please visit our website www.treasuredanimalrescueinc.org to learn more about this amazing pet and to see other available dogs and cats.Adoption processTo get started in adopting: Please fill out our adoption application and after reviewing our foster family will set up a meet & greet; if applicable. An adoption application link can be found in each Treasured Gems (adoptable pets) profile. • Spay/neuter before adoption. If under 16 weeks, it will be coordinated with Adoptive family at one of our Rescue affiliated Veterinarian clinics. Treasured Animal Rescue MUST spay/neuter within 30 days of adoption date per the State of Illinois Animal Welfare Act (25 ILCS 605 Section 25.140• Microchip and registration with HomeAgain. TAR has registered all microchips for our adoptable’s, and family's will be given a transfer form.• Initial de-worming, flea & tick prevention/treatment (see note below) and heart worm prevention • Age-appropriate testing for heartworm/FIV-FELV• Age-appropriate vaccines• Wellness check exam**Note on fleas** Those sneaky little critters can hitch a free ride into your home aboard another pet, person, or even rodent, so it is important to make sure your new pet is protected. Depending on the time frame your adoptable pet has been in our foster care it might have had just 1 dose – which is not enough. Please consult with your Vet on putting your new adoptable pet on yearly flea/tick prevention – even if they are an indoor pet. Adoption fees: Puppies/Dogs - $400Seniors - $275 **Some dog breeds require additional vetting which leads to an adoption fee to not adhere to the pricing guideline above. There are many circumstances where an adoptable pet has an adoption fee that varies from above schedule due to their vetting needs while in our foster care. Cats & Kittens - $150 **Treasured Animal Rescue highly recommends adopting kittens in pairs, to avoid any potential behavioral issues like biting, scratching and not using the litter box. Also, adopting 2 kittens lessens stress on the tiny kitten which provides a healthier transition. **Shelter locationAll our Treasured Gems are located in our foster homes. The location is noted in their individual profiles. We do not have a facility or shelter for meetings. Treasured Animal Rescue is not able to adopt out of the State of Illinois. Puppy/kitten adoptions must be close to our current Vet Clinics due to their spay/neutering. A Volunteer can advise of our Vet Clinic locations. In each of our foster pets profiles it will state if they are good with dogs, cats or children. Please note what we experience in our foster home may differ completely in a potential Adopters homes. A TAR foster parent can give much insight on their foster pet as they live in their home just like their own pets.
