My story

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

FIV+

Vance is a large, gentle, laid-back cat who we think is about four years old. This super friendly guy went into one of our traps during a TNR project in 2023.  He was adopted from right around the Christmas holidays in 2023.

 We just got him back because......we don't know why. He's a great cat . Perhaps something was going on in his home that made them unable to keep him. People's troubles sometimes affect the pets in the home.

At any rate this guy is super bummed out that he is not looking for his third home in his four years of life. And we are sad for him too. 

He loves attention and is a little bit chatty! He gets along well with other cats. He is FIV-positive, but don't let that worry you. FIV-positive simply means that it is important to keep him healthy and current on vaccines. FIV-positive cats can and do live with FIV-negative cats and typically live as long as FIV-negative cats.

If you'd like to meet Vance or think this cat would be a good match for your family, please complete our adoption questionnaire at http://www.trentoncats.org/adoption-questionnaire/ and let your references know someone will be contacting them soon. All our cats are neutered, up to date on age-appropriate vaccinations, dewormed and flea-treated, tested for FIV/FeLV, and microchipped prior to adoption. Thanks for opting to adopt!
