Meet Tommy Biggs, a 10 year old cat that was trapped in the area of the large apartment complex along Sky Pointe, between Azure & Tenaya.
While being vetted, the compassionate staff of Heaven Can Wait, a non-profit animal clinic that is the premier low cost, & in some instances free spay/neuter services, called me an hour after I had dropped he and others off there.
They had found an infected wound to one of his back legs. & had administered a long acting antibiotic injection , but the wound was so large, they had resorted to staples to close it. They asked that we keep him 2 weeks for recovery, then bring him back to have the staples removed.
During the recovery period, he began to realize we were being kind & meant no harm, & he began to respond socially instead of using what had been a mask of hissing & snarling defensiveness .
When returned to the clinic for the staples to be removed, we had a microchip implanted and combo test done. The test revealed the presence of Feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) antibodies. This means he’s been exposed to the virus, but in many instances did not become infected with it. Cats that are infected can pass it only through deep bites or through mating, & only to other cats. It’s not something that can be passed to dogs or people.
A risk we couldn’t take by putting him in with other cats, it’s a set back in our efforts to show him for adoption at The Rescued Treasures Cat Cafe,
He would do best adopted as the only cat to a loving home, and as a senior cat our best hope is for an older person’ to make him a family member.

More about this shelter
PALNV started in California in 1993 to help abandoned, abused and neglected pets. They moved to Las Vegas, NV, after the recession. It took a couple of years to decide what was needed most in our new community and the decision was made to help community cats find their forever homes.
We opened Rescued Treasures Cat Café in August of 2019 and adopted 40 cats. We were shut down for three months in 2020 due to the Pandemic but still managed to take in 335 cats and kittens and find homes for 299. The first quarter of 2021 we took in 146 cats and adopted 84.
Our cats are from the streets. They have been abandoned and even though they are living on the streets they are very sweet loving cats. We also take out medical cats and kittens from our local shelter.
We are always looking for volunteers, donors and fosters to help save more lives. Our passion is being a part of the solution to saving our community cats!
