Explore the wonders of the scientific universe with Bill Nye the Science Cat! While in foster care, Bill has blossomed into a social, loving, and active little boy. He’s wasted no time strengthening his legs by running and jumping all over his new space. Without the stressful environment of the shelter, Bill has also forgone the majority of his brattiness and loves nothing more than to commandeer laps and fuzzy blankets for all his sleeping and purring needs. Bill is also very curious and loves finding snug spaces to nap in - so don’t be surprised if you find him snoozing amongst the shoes in your closet. As much as he loves sleeping in tight places - he absolutely adores spreading out and showing you how long he is with biiiig stretches - it’s quite the sight to behold. Bill is happy to take over any soft surface in his reach - be it your bed or your couch or your laundry.
Bill is still a bit sensitive to some handling (especially surrounding his hindquarters) - left over from his days as an injured stray- so we'd recommend a calm, quiet, adults-only home for now. He has also tested FeLV+ so for now should remain the only cat in his home.
**Feline Leukemia Virus (FeLV) is a virus that is specific to cats that attacks and weakens a cat’s immune system. Cats with FeLV can live normal, happy, healthy lives—with a shorter life expectancy than cats without FeLV. In the past, cats with FeLV in shelters were euthanized as soon as they were diagnosed. PAWS takes a different stance: we enable FeLV+ cats to live out their lives in loving homes. For more information feel free to check out the FeLV FAQs we have available on our website!**
