Hello, I'm Ashley! I'm a happy, chatty girl with a bubbly personality. I can be very snuggly when I'm in the mood, and happily purr and flop to the floor. When I'm not asking for your attention, I'm chasing after wand toys, crinkle balls, and catnip mice. I also enjoy climbing cat trees, watching the birds and soaking up the sun. I lived with older children in my last home, as well as another cat, and enjoyed spending time with them.
This cat previously tested positive for Feline Leukemia Virus on 10/13/2021. On 4/9/24, this cat was tested for FeLV using an in-house Idexx snap test, and was below detectable limits. This test result does not indicate that the cat is not infected with FeLV, as regressively infected cats can have a below detectable limits test and still be infected. This cat can be housed with other cats that have tested positive for FeLV, but should not be housed with cats that have tested negative. The shelter recommends that the adopter follow up with their veterinarian to more accurately determine the cat's retroviral status, if recommended by their veterinarian.
