Shere Khan came into the TNR program as a 5 week old kitten with a severe eye infection in both eyes and all alone in the world. His eyes cleared up with no residual damage; however, he tested positive for FIV at intake (FELV negative). A test at that age only indicates that his mother was FIV positive (only about 20% of kittens born to FIV positive queens are infected with the virus perinatally). Most kittens will test negative for FIV between 4-6 months of age. His repeat test at 4.5 months was also positive but he'll need a final test at six months to confirm his FIV status. FIV is not a risk to humans and most cats only encounter the virus through fighting/deep bite wounds, so he's not a health risk to any people or animals around him. FIV+ kitties can live a fairly normal life, and they can live with other cats as long as everyone gets along and there is no fighting!
Because of his uncertain FIV status, he has not had any adoption applications. He's sweet, affectionate and playful. He just wants to play with anyone and everyone, so he's great with other cats. He's never been around dogs in his foster home, but with proper introduction, a cat-friendly dog should be fine. He's done well in adoption events with calm children. When he's done with zoomies and rough-housing with the other kitties in his foster home, his favorite nap spot is on his foster's lap. He has a $75 adoption fee, or $125 as a pair with his foster friend Allie.
All cats adopted through our rescue are age appropriately vaccinated including rabies & FVRCP/Feline Leukemia vaccines, dewormed & free of fleas, combo tested (negative unless otherwise noted), microchipped and spayed/neutered before adoptions are finalized. We also have a cat cafe full of friendly, furry faces -- Whiskers Catnip Cottage in Granville!
