My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Doesn’t he look like the Scarecrow from The Wizard of Oz? Huckleberry is the sweetest, wiggliest, most self-assured young guy! His admitter found him when he walked straight into her apartment- not an ounce of cowardly lion here! Huckleberry acclimated quickly, and is interested in everything around him- food, toys, cats, and people. He is a gentle and considerate roommate; he doesn’t steal food or start fights. Huckleberry is quite the gentleman! Huckleberry has FIV* and was born in February of 2012.

*Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV) causes a weakening of the immune system in cats. It's often compared to human HIV, but FIV is not transferable to humans or other species. It is also difficult to transfer to other sterilized cats, and we believe that mixed FIV and non-FIV households can work if managed properly. If kept indoors in a stress-free environment, with regular medical care and high-quality nutrition, most FIV+ cats live long and healthy lives. Tree House staff can help answer your questions to see if an FIV+ cat is the right choice for you. FIV+ cats adopted from Tree House are eligible for a lifetime veterinary-care plan that includes a free annual exam and discounted treatments.
