My story

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

Lincoln - Available for Adoption

Lincoln is a super sweet boy who unfortunately got dealt a bad hand earlier in life. He was known to have been eating at a feral cat feeding station for at least several months before he was trapped and brought to the vet. His paws were dirty, his long fur was matted and unkempt, and his poor ears bore numerous scars, no doubt from tussles with the other local tomcats - which meant it wasn't very surprising when he also tested positive for FIV (Feline Immunodeficiency Virus).

Shortly after his neuter and initial vet care, Lincoln became very sick. He had bad diarrhea and suddenly couldn't keep food down. His condition rapidly worsened and he required emergency veterinary care. Bloodwork revealed he was anemic and had a dangerously low platelet count. Further diagnostics were inconclusive, so a barrage of medications were prescribed in the hope that something would do the trick.

Miraculously, Lincoln seems to have made a complete recovery! Follow up bloodwork showed his platelet count was still low, but nowhere near as bad as before. And, of course, he still has FIV, so he'll be more susceptible to other illnesses in the future.

Being sick, however, never diminished Lincoln's spirit. He is a very affectionate and outgoing gentleman (he charmed the pants off everyone at the ER!) who is always eager for human interaction. He loves to be pet and even held. He would do well as a family pet; according to Lincoln, the math is simple: more humans = more attention!!

Lincoln is doing amazing in his foster home. He is a super sweet guy. He loves to be your loyal companion and will follow you wherever you go. He spends most of his time asking for treats by doing a little vertical stretch, and lounging around the apartment. In his free time, he likes to chase balls around and purr at maximum volume.

Lincoln is estimated to be three years old and a handsome domestic long hair polydactyl. He is neutered, up-to-date on vaccines, and negative for FeLV. Given his FIV+ status and his known medical history, his new family should be fully prepared for future veterinary expenses.

More about this rescue

Boston streets are flooded with homeless cats and kittens. Some were abandoned, while others are feral (offspring of those abandoned cats.)
