My personality

My story

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

This poor cat just can’t seem to catch a break. 💔

Originally bought from a breeder, he soon found himself living outside. For at least three months he tried to make it on his own as his long fur turned into tight mats, as he was attacked by another animal and dealt with the resulting infected bite wound the best he could, and as he eventually made it back home only to be promptly surrendered to animal control.

That was actually the best thing that could have happened to Applejack though. His fur was maintained, and his wound treated. He found people he mattered to — shelter volunteers.
Then came the next blow. He tested positive for Feline Leukemia (FeLV). According to his surrender sheet, he’d never been provided vaccines by his owner.

FeLV is an infectious virus that weakens a cat’s immune system making them susceptible to secondary infections, cancers and other diseases. It is easily transmissible to other cats through close contact.

What does this mean for Applejack?
He’ll be retested in 30 - 60 days to confirm he truly has FeLV. If he is truly positive, he will need a home as an only cat or only live with other cats with FeLV.
We wish we could say stories like this rarely come up, but that wouldn’t be true. Applejack is one of multiple homeless animals (this week alone) that have been provided the healthcare they need by Pound Pals Downriver.

We are eternally grateful for PPD, our volunteers and our supporters. ❤️
