Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Sprout was rescued from a local kill shelter where he had been brought in as a stray. This chunky-headed guy had been on the streets for some time and was not vetted (he is now!). He still bore the marks of a few street fights that are evident in his pictures, but what a love this teddy bear cat is! He is so darn sweet! He is easygoing and chill and gets along with kids, cats and dogs. Sprout is FIV+ (see note below), but he lives peacefully with cats (and dogs) of all ages and sizes in his foster home. Sprout did not deserve to be thrown outside to fend for himself. He deserves a forever home where he will get good food and lots of love. How about yours?!
NOTE: Sprout is FIV positive, but don't let this scare you! Sprout is young and perfectly healthy, except that he carries this virus. FIV is feline immunodeficiency virus. Cats can live long, healthy lives with FIV. FIV is primarily transmitted to other cats via bites (must be transmitted through blood) and is not transferred via litterboxes or food bowls. The virus only lives outside the cat for 2-3 hours so it is not contagious to other cats in non-aggressive households. Actually, many people own FIV+ cats and do not even know they carry this virus. It is asymptomatic and unless a blood test is performed, there is no way of knowing if a cat has it. FIV is ABSOLUTELY NOT transmittable to humans or dogs.
For further information please contact us at www.furryfriendsanimalrescue.org/contact-us or call 214-676-2434. Anyone interested in our cats will be required to fill out an adoption application. All our cats will be spayed or neutered, microchipped and current on vaccinations. We do ask for a $140 adoption donation. To fill out an application on line, just go to www.furryfriendsanimalrescue.org and click on the Adoption Application link.
