My story

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

Figgy Newton is a truly special girl that has been through so much. We know that there's someone reading this right now that will feel connected to her and want to give her the forever home that she deserves. She's so affectionate and just as sweet as a fig, with a little bit of nuttiness that she shows with her playful antics. She loves to rub her face across yours and give little kisses as she nuzzles your nose. She's a happy girl with a comfy bed and a window to look out all day long.

Figgy was found laying in the middle of the road on a hot summer day, seemingly unaware that she was in imminent danger. Our volunteer scooped her up off the hot pavement and took her home where she realized Figgy had an enormous eye ball that needed medical attention. She had a successful enucleation and makes one beautiful one eyed kitty with her silky black coat setting off the golden eye she still has. Her loss of her eye was no big deal, as she adjusted quickly and acts like a normal kitty.

Unfortunately, we learned that Figgy is FeLV (feline leukemia) positive. She's lucky that we were able to rescue her because she has a much better prognosis being an indoor only cat with the best environment to thrive. Since Figgy Newton is FeLV positive she is not able to live with FeLV negative cats. We think she will be happiest as an only cat, so this shouldn't be an issue for her. She can also live with other FeLV positive cats but we are unsure how she will get along with them. She doesn't enjoy dogs. We're happy to chat more about FeLV to ensure adopters have all of the information they need to feel comfortable adopting Figgy. She is currently healthy with normal bloodwork very recently and doing super well!
