My story

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

Not too many cats are lucky enough to come with a theme song, but meet Sue (“A Boy Named Sue”) and crank up that Johnny Cash! Sue is a sweet, fun-loving male kitten with a lot of spunk and confidence, but also has a sweet mushy side. His favorite activities include jumping, purring and chilling by your side. He enjoys pets, playing with almost anything and being held when it’s time for him to relax. If ever there’s a kitty fashion week, Sue should totally model for it! He’s super photogenic and will let his foster mom put him in a bowl or over her shoulder for a photo op.

As the song goes, Sue was given a special name to make him strong! Sue has a unique challenge in that he is FeLV positive. As a young, healthy kitten, there is a possibility Sue could still shed the virus and he can be retested again in the coming months, but he will need to go to a home with no other resident cats and ideally humans who are home a good portion of the day to give him lots of attention and playtime. FeLV is only contagious to other cats and only through prolonged exposure. FeLV cats can live normal lives, though their life expectancy is generally shorter. Sue will need to go to a low-stress home where he will be fed a high-quality diet, taken to a vet for regular check-ups, and have a pet parent who is committed to addressing health problems as soon as they arise. Sue is about 5 months old, neutered, up to date on FVRCP and rabies vaccines, and FIV negative.

Sue is also in search of a new foster family or a Foster-to-Adopt scenario! And yes, you can definitely rename him :)
