Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Remember Morris the cat from cat food commercials? Then you may suspect Bingus is his long-lost brother. He is a big guy, dark orange, and so affectionate. Bingus is happy to rest his head in your hand while you rub his head or maybe find a warm place to curl up. This boy just wants to be loved.
Bingus tested positive for FIV (Feline immunodeficiency Virus)
'Cats with FIV can live long, happy lives and they can live with other friendly cats. FIV is mainly spread through deep bite wounds, not through everyday contact like grooming, sharing food bowls, toys, or litter boxes.
If the cats in the home are friendly and not prone to fighting, the risk of transmission is extremely low. Many FIV+ cats live peacefully with FIV-negative cats for years without ever passing on the virus.
The most important thing is to maintain a calm, stable home and to make proper introductions, just like with any new cat. Regular vet checkups and good care will help keep everyone healthy.
FIV can only be spread to other cats; it cannot be spread to humans or dogs.'
Bingus is four years old.
The adoption fee for adult cats, seven months and older, is $100. All pets are microchipped, up to date on vaccines, and will be altered prior to adoption. If you are interested in meeting a cat, stop by the shelter during open hours. helpingstrays.org

Go meet their pets
We welcome you to stop by our facility located at 4221 Hanover Road in Columbia, IL.
We promote the humane care of all abandoned and stray animals in our community. We are a no-kill shelter. All of our pets leave the shelter for their forever homes micro-chipped, up to date on vaccines, and altered.
Founded in 2002, Helping Strays is a non-profit 501(c)(3) charitable organization supported entirely by donations.
Our lucky animals receive appropriate medical care, are featured on the Helping Strays website "adoption list" and are taken to several adoption events every month in an attempt to find permanent, loving homes.
