BOOMER.....
This big hunk of burning love is looking for a home. We believe he is between 5 and 6 years of age.
He was found in a feral colony. When brought in to be neutered he found he greatly prefers to be an indoor only cat.
When he was at the veterinarian for his neutering, vaccinations and blood work it was discovered that he is FIV positive. He is with a foster now in Surfside SC.
Please text us if you are wanting to give him a home and warm lap. 843-455-6199 and we will connect you with the caretaker.
Discuss adoption fee with caretaker.
Time is of the essence!
Please be sure to read up on what it means for a cat to be FIV positive:
Yes, you can consider adopting an FIV positive cat, as many can live long, healthy lives just like any other cat, and are often overlooked in shelters despite being just as loving and capable of a fulfilling life; however, it's important to understand the implications of FIV and take necessary precautions, especially if you have other cats at home, by consulting with your veterinarian before making a decision.
Key points to consider:
FIV transmission:
FIV is primarily transmitted through deep bite wounds, so keeping cats neutered and managing interactions between FIV positive and negative cats can significantly reduce the risk of transmission.
Living with other cats:
While it's generally safe to have an FIV positive cat with other cats if they are all indoor, neutered, and interact peacefully, some people may choose to keep their FIV positive cat separate from other cats as a precaution.
Lifespan:
Research shows that many FIV positive cats can live long, healthy lives with proper care, and may not even show any symptoms of the virus.
Benefits of adoption:
Adopting an FIV positive cat can save a life as they are often overlooked in shelters and may be euthanized due to their status.

Whiskers Animal Rescue and Sanctuary is a 501c3 nonprofit organization devoted to helping rescuing animals in need for many years. We primarily concentrate on rescuing cats and kittens in SC and NC states, occasionally performing out of state rescues as well. We had started rescuing animals back in 1985 and since then we have helped over 4500 animals by re-homing them, providing medical care, vaccinating, finding permanent homes for most of them, transporting to other rescues or homes, cross posting and advertising in local magazines and providing shelter for some of the animals a few of whom are still with us until this present day. Our rescue got incorporated as W.A.R.S in August 28th of 2009. Our main interest is to promote responsible guardianship of domestic animals and advocate a compassionate and ethical treatment of all animals. Our rescue group actively enforces to spay and neuter animals in our community which extends to the Northern Horry County and Myrtle Beach area. We promote low cost spay and neuter programs by trying to reduce the number of unwanted, sick and untreated yet adoptable animals who are being euthanized in local shelters for the above-mentioned reasons. Their only “fault” is that they don’t have a home. We have been rescuing such animals from various shelters in SC and NC areas providing them with shelter and urgent and continuous medical care. Our mission is to promote adoption and provide temporary or long-term housing for abused, abandoned, sick and neglected animals until their permanent home can be obtained. Our organization along with our volunteer foster homes also offers a long-term sanctuary to the aged, infirm and non-adoptable animals due to their personality or health issues at all times. On many occasions we are proud to participate in feral cat TNR programs where we assist other rescues or perform the services ourselves. We love every animal we save and consider them our family.
